Ever witnessed a workshop spiral out of control and wondered—Should I step in or let it play out?
Facilitation isn’t just about keeping time or filling whiteboards—it’s about knowing exactly when to intervene and when to step back. And trust me, that line is razor-thin.
I found myself on that tightrope during a particularly heated workshop between business leaders and tech experts, when I was a rookie facilitator years ago. The tension was real, and within minutes, things went from structured to stormy. Voices clashed, frustrations surfaced—so what did I do next?
Did I step in early to calm the room—or wait and risk total chaos? The decision I made in that moment changed everything—and it’s a lesson I’ll never forget.
Curious how it played out—and how you can master that delicate balance?
