About this episode

Annie Grace joins Kara Kirby and Blake Cohen to discuss the neuroscience and psychology of facilitation, exploring how to create effective meetings and build trust.

Why do great meetings feel effortless while others drain the life out of a room? Facilitator and OD leader Annie Grace joins Kara Kirby and Blake Cohen to explore the neuroscience and psychology of facilitation - from reading the room to building trust and regulating emotion in real time. The trio discusses power dynamics, trauma-informed practices, and how playful design (yes, even Post-its and LEGO) unlocks creativity and connection. This one’s for anyone who leads, teaches, or gathers people with purpose.
