Conversation with Gary Austin
How did he discover facilitation, and why did he move into the profession? And how does he use facilitation now, with his company circleindigo http://www.circleindigo.com/

How do people know they need a facilitator and decide to get in touch with circleindigo?

Gary has looked for those times when he can find out what other facilitators are doing, and attend those kinds of sessions that don't always seem relevant. He tells us about a couple of times that unexpectedly led to great learning experiences.

What are the kind of qualities/skills necessary to stay in facilitation for a long time. (Hint: values play a big part..., look out for our next episode!)

Every interaction is an opportunity for learning. Gary's been around the IAF for a while and is now part of the leadership team of the England and Wales chapter, and part of the IAF Global board.

Gary's last words: embed yourself in a network of peers and colleagues.
