Leanne on Demand Daily with Leanne Hughes đ´ 222. 80% You: The Inner Work of Facilitation feat. Jo Fitzgerald (Weekend Rewind)
There are some conversations where you can just feel the depth of thoughtâand this episode with Jo Fitzgerald is one of them.
I met Jo when she came over to Brisbane earlier this year, and straight away I knew I wanted to hit record on our chats. We finally made it happen!
In this episode, Jo shares her journey from primary school teaching to becoming a facilitator and coach, and how that foundation has shaped the way she shows up in the room today. We talk about:
- What teaching children taught her about adult learning
- The moment she knew she needed to shift from âdoingâ facilitation to being a facilitator
- Her pre- and post-workshop rituals, including her incredible âintention sheetâ (Iâm stealing this)
- How she handles the post-workshop buzz or flat, and why preparation helps her stay grounded
- That public speaking workshop storyâyouâll never forget it
Jo also opens up about her superpower: preparation. And she shares how she uses it as a springboard for creativity, agility, and being presentânot as a rigid safety net. If youâre early in your facilitation journey, youâll love her honesty. If youâve been doing it for years, youâll feel seen.
