workshops work 327 - Building Facilitation from the Inside Out with Matt Homann
Stale, stuffy boardrooms, awkwardly arranged furniture, and scratchy marker-pens that have nearly run dry. A facilitator’s lament – and perhaps, our worst enemy.
Tired of the constant shapeshifting to squeeze into spaces that were never meant for facilitation, Matt Homann moved into the business of hosting people – in his own space. He built Filament, a facilitation space with a codified approach at its core, to help people to meet, think and learn better, freeing creativity from logistical limitations, and making sure a terrible workshop never has to happen again.
We talk about how space liberates us, the structures that spark the best conversations, and why simplicity always wins over complexity. Join us!
Find out about:
- The role of environment in facilitation – and why it’s your most powerful tool
- Why owning your own facilitation space allows you to experiment, ideate quickly, shift group dynamics, and design for interaction
- Why facilitation tools and frameworks need to be simple and memorable
- Why the best facilitators often don’t carry the title
