Episode 82: Upping Your Facilitation Game—with Leanne Hughes

In this Craft of Consulting podcast episode, I interview Leanne Hughes, the Obi-Wan Kenobi of facilitation. She helps consultants, trainers, and facilitators create the most profitable learning experiences. She also helps companies create unpredictable experiences and employee "evangelists" to overcome resistance to internal change.


In this podcast, Leanne goes deep into the art and science of one of the most important consulting skills: facilitation. She shares why facilitation matters for consultants as well as facilitation strategies and tactics that will help you serve your clients better.
