Back by popular demand: Charles-Louis De Maere returns for series 4! During this chat with Nisha, he talks about the importance of pivoting during facilitation sessions, obtaining the right balance of clarity and vagueness, and you'll hear an (initially shocking) but very interesting story about his time in Niger. Here are some key highlights: Global Facilitation Experiences: Charles Louis shares his unique facilitation experiences in various countries, highlighting the importance of adapting to different cultural contexts.   Embracing Vagueness: Charles Louis discusses  ‘Kishotenketsu’ an organic narrative storyteller's pattern originating from China that has shown to be ideal for learning. The aspect of 'Kishotenketsu', Charles Louis talks about is emphasising the value of being 'vague enough' to foster creativity and engagement in facilitation. (See comments for a  ten-day workshop design and facilitation program offered by Charles Louis and Francis Laleman who gradually developed over the last few decades)   Impactful Stories: Charles recounts impactful stories from his facilitation work, including experiences in Peru and Niger, illustrating the diverse applications and profound impact of effective facilitation.   Facilitation in Diverse Settings: The discussion also touches upon facilitating in various settings, including for NGOs in South and Southeast Asia, and adapting to online facilitation during lockdowns.   What happens when things don’t go to plan and you have to pivot?: Charles-Louis mentions running facilitation skills training programs, focusing on the practical aspects of facilitation and how to handle unexpected challenges.   Follow Charles-Louis on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/charleslouisdemaere/ Check out Exploration Labs SRL here: https://www.tickettailor.com/events/explorationlabssrl/ ************ Follow Nisha Joshi here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nishajoshi1/ Follow Sharon Williams here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sharon-williams-pmo/
