In this episode, he shares insights on the importance of remaining curious, cultivating gratitude, and learning with your head, your heart, and your hands – whether on a mat in a dojo or in a circle of chairs at a training.

In adult learning settings, we’ve seen that “sit and get” rarely works to help adults gain the knowledge they need to succeed. To understand what the latest in brain science tells us about why a traditional approach often fails adults, we talk to LaDonna Pavetti, Vice President for Family Income Support Policy at Center on Budget & Policy Priorities (CBPP). LaDonna shares the critical role that Executive Function skills play in how we learn. She explains how, as designers of learning experiences, we often underestimate what it takes for our learners to absorb and be able to use new information.

Rebecca noticed that Manuel Alexander, National Lead Faculty, facilitated in ways that felt very familiar to our learning-centered approach. In this episode, Manuel shares stories of entrepreneurship, including his own family’s legacy. These experiences taught him about respect for what learners bring to the table, practical engagement strategies that anyone can access, and how attention to detail can be the measure of success.

As a long-time facilitator, improv actor, therapist and social entrepreneur, Andres Marquez-Lara, is in the business of healing. He channels this passion as Founder and CEO of UFacilitate where he helps purpose-driven leaders create spaces for deep connection, collaboration and transformation. In this episode, Andres and Tyler explore some of the key points of effective facilitation and how those translate to critical leadership skills. Andres shares the story of how one of his greatest failures as a facilitator led to some of his deepest learning: that when we can recognize our own actions and reactions, keep curiosity at the center and step out of our own way, we leave room for deep insights to emerge. Download the 8 Points of Effective Facilitation guide at UFacilitate.com.
Andres highlights a few other key resources you won’t want to miss: East Side Institute’s Social Therapeutics, Liberating Structures, and Books by Peter Block.
