728. The Mistakes You're Making As A Facilitator - With Mark Walsh

Author: Mark Walsh August 19, 2025 Duration: 37:00

In this session I break down the most common mistakes I see facilitators making - whether you're a coach, trainer, yoga teacher, martial artist, or anyone leading groups. After decades of teaching in over 50 countries, I've seen the same patterns crop up again and again, and I wanted to put them all in one place.

I talk about the practical traps that can derail a session, the mindset issues that limit impact, and the blind spots facilitators often don't see until it's too late. I also share the habits that separate great facilitators from average ones, and how small shifts can make your teaching far more effective.

This session was recorded live at The Embodiment Festival 2024.
