Own Your Impact #23: So You're an Experience Facilitator - Now What?
Your most powerful work happens in moments that can't be captured in static formats, and trying to force your genius into traditional content creation is like trying to bottle lightning. When you create transformation through carefully designed group experiences and real-time facilitation, the conventional advice to "systematize your process" or "build an online course" doesn't just feel wrong—it diminishes the very magic that makes your work irreplaceable.
In this episode, I explore what it means to be an Experience Facilitator—the second archetype in my ten-part deep dive series on the Resonant Thought Leadership System. If you're someone who creates your most powerful transformation in group settings, who can read the energy in a room intuitively and adapt your facilitation in real time to help people have breakthrough moments that simply don't happen when people work alone, this episode will help you understand why traditional scaling advice feels like you're dumbing down your work. I share the key distinction between being an Experience Facilitator (like a jazz musician who improvises) versus other archetypes, and demonstrate why your genius lies in creating conditions where groups transform together rather than helping individuals one at a time.
Through examples like Tony Robbins and Michael Bungay Stanier, I reveal how to build a platform that showcases your facilitation gifts through demonstration rather than documentation, and why your fastest path to sustainable influence starts with designing simple group experiences that prove your ability to move people from point A to point B in real time.
IMPACT POINTS FROM THIS EPISODE:
⚡ Your Genius Happens in the Moment, Not in Documentation – As an Experience Facilitator, your transformation magic includes intuitive elements that can't be captured in static formats. Stop trying to systematize every aspect of your process and start creating more opportunities to demonstrate your real-time facilitation skills.
⚡ Group Dynamics Are Your Superpower – Unlike other archetypes who work one-on-one or through content delivery, you create conditions where entire groups transform together through shared experiences. Your platform should invite people into transformation experiences, not try to deliver the transformation itself.
⚡ Demonstration Beats Documentation Every Time – Instead of exhausting yourself trying to write perfect website copy or create detailed courses, focus on getting more opportunities to showcase what you do in action. Your referrals and testimonials from live experiences will always be more compelling than any static marketing materials.
