740. How Good Facilitation Changes Everything - With Myriam Hadnes

740. How Good Facilitation Changes Everything - With Myriam Hadnes

Author: Mark Walsh October 28, 2025 Duration: 55:19

I talk with Myriam Hadnes about what good facilitation actually looks like, and why it matters now more than ever. We cut through the jargon and compare facilitation, coaching and training, then get practical about how you create learning that sticks.

Myriam and I dig into nervous system overload, psychological safety, and why embodied practices outperform information-only approaches. We also cover difficult conversations, holding space for emotion, boundary-setting, and what facilitative training looks like in an era of AI and endless content.

If you run groups, teach, or coach, this conversation offers concrete ways to help people learn deeper, stay regulated, and actually change their behaviour.

Myriam has hosted the workshops work podcast for more than 300 episodes, publishing a new conversation with facilitation experts each week. During the pandemic, she founded the NeverDoneBefore Festival and community — an international online experiment where facilitators co-created and delivered hundreds of "never done before" workshops between 2020 and 2024.

Through her boutique agency workshops.work, Myriam and her team deliver over 200 workshops each year to help multinational organisations turn collaboration from a buzzword into a lived experience.
