    From talk to transformation – the art of effective facilitation – episode 327

    In this episode, we explore the subtle (and not-so-subtle)differences between teaching, training, and facilitation—and why they matter more than you might think. From accidental facilitators to seasoned pros, our guests share honest reflections, practical approaches, and cautionary talesabout what makes learning stick. We dive into the skills that set great facilitators apart, the common mistakes that derail engagement and impact, and why designing for learning transfer is non-negotiable. Whether you're delivering in person or online, this is a conversation packed with insight,energy, and plenty of reminders that good delivery is about more than just good slides.Links from the podcast: Will Thalheimer’s research paper “Does eLearning Work?” SOFest – School of Facilitation learning festival in June 2025 Kirsty’s SOFest blogs HR Unconference from Fiona McBride Facilitation Shindigs from Julie Drybrough Thanks to ⁠TechSmith⁠ for providing Camtasia and Audiate for editing Guests Kirsty LewisColin SmithMelanie MartinelliErica FarmerTina SethAndy McConvilleJo Cook If you have something  new to share with the L&D community and would like to be part of TJ’s podcasts.
