Unprofessionalism

Dr Myriam Hadnes

Most career advice tells you to hide uncertainty, perform confidence, and never let them see you sweat.This podcast is about what happens when you ignore that advice.Unprofessionalism is a series of conversations with people who broke professional conventions and discovered something better on the other side: the designer who ignored the "approved tools" and saved thousands of hours. The founder who built a practice by openly admitting gaps in expertise. The consultant who called out dysfunction

“Keep it simple, stupid” is a popular refrain which might be better translated as “make it harder, stupid”!One of the most common misunderstandings Gabor Bittera encounters in his mission towards simplicity is the belief that simple = easy. Far from it, in fact. Sometimes, creating simplicity is the hardest task in a workshop.Thankfully, Gabor has done the hard miles and has advice that can save you from complicating the process of simplifying your workshops… leaving you just with the fact that it

In an on-site workshops, breakout groups are a tried and tested way to get the group thinking, communicating, and developing.In online workshops, breakout rooms are a different beast.You press a button and the group disappears — you don’t know what they’re saying, whether they’re collaborating, or anything about their time together!Gwyn Wansbrough is on a mission to take the uncertainty out of breakout rooms and virtual facilitation.

Facilitation is a system that gives groups space to make sense — it’s not about guiding them towards something, nor is it about leading them.But what is ‘deliberate sensemaking’ all about? To the uninitiated, it may sound a little simplistic — is it just about helping people understand stuff that they’re working on?Michael Hamman, one of the foremost voices in Agile coaching and training, explains all in this episode and reveals the complexity behind seemingly simple sense-making.

Meg Bolger is one of a few returning guests to this show, originally featured in episode 133 (’The conversation I wish I heard when I started facilitating’).Our conversation this time was a far cry from discussing what we wished we’d heard at the start of our careers. Instead, we focused on Meg’s area of expertise after 12+ years of development and practice: facilitating diversity, equity, and inclusion workshops and processes.We stripped things back to their basics in search of universal language,

When you’re facilitating, where are you? In your head, your body, a role? There are no wrong answers, but there are plenty of interesting questions you can ask to better understand how you facilitate.Anna Momber-Heers can share a lot of interesting insights, as her background is as a performance and communication coach. She helps professionals use tools and ideas from acting to get into their bodies and into a more settled place in their minds.The closer we can get to our bodies, the clearer we can

How often do you walk away from a conversation feeling heard, like you put across the things you wanted to? Feeling relaxed, not frantic?And how often do you workshops produce those same sensations?If it’s less often than you’d like, Johnnie Moore can help, with his Unhurried model for conversation (and more).As facilitators, we can learn a lot — directly and indirectly — from this approach. Unhurried might make you think ‘slow’, but it’s not necessarily so. Rather than purely slowing down, Johnnie

As facilitation has grown in popularity and awareness over the last decade. And, as markets grow, dilution and variance begins to naturally occur. Marcus Crow has been pondering this issue for a while — chewing over formalization, authentication, and accreditation in our profession.An idea he wanted to explore more (and what better stage than this podcast?) is what a degree in facilitation might look like.Is facilitation something you can teach in an academic space?

Facilitation might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of courage — we do not charge valiantly into battle or wrestle wild animals! — but the closer one looks at it, the more the connection becomes visible.It takes courage to bring a group of people together and challenge them to grow and make progress. It takes courage to stand up and say “I will do this”. It takes courage to ask difficult questions.And it takes courage to get out of our own way — and the group’s.Roi Ben-Yehuda

Accessibility — ensuring the spaces we create are open, welcoming, and easy for everyone to join — is a critical, but often neglected, issue in facilitation. It took the rise of online workshops to take accessibility from an afterthought to a main event.But this increased focus on accessibility, long overdue as it was, has proven to be to everyone’s benefit.

Some episodes are like walks through a beautiful park, stopping and admiring different beautiful moments and places.My conversation with Francis Laleman — a trainer-of-trainers, a facilitation teacher, and an excellent facilitator in his own right — was most certainly one in the latter category. We spent an hour or so weaving our way through big questions and small curiosities. It was a joy and
