workshop facilitation: bending time
It’s a common challenge for facilitators to lead a session that’s running behind schedule. It’s easy to fall into the trap of sticking rigidly to the agenda, but the real skill lies in knowing when to hold the course and when to adapt, without compromising outcomes or leaving participants behind. In this video, we explore how to redistribute time between activities, read the room, and make strategic adjustments that feel seamless. We also explore how to plan for flexibility in advance, and how to adapt in the moment when things don’t go as expected.
