🌱Persistence
What helps me keep going when something is difficult
?
🧗 THE CHALLENGE
A specific tough moment in my facilitation practice (a session that flopped, a disengaged group, a difficult participant, prep that fell apart last minute, feedback that stung)
Why it was hard for me — was it about competence, confidence, the group dynamic, external pressure?
What was at stake if I'd let it derail me (my confidence, the learners' experience, my credibility with the cohort)
💡 MY STRATEGIES
How I prepare for sessions I'm anxious about
What I do mid-session when I sense I'm losing the room
How I debrief and reset after a hard session, before the next one
Techniques I learn on when energy or motivation dips mid-cohort
🪜 SMALL STEPS
🤝 MY SUPPORT
What peer support, mentoring, or community has carried me through
🌟 MY EVIDENCE
A skill or confidence I now have only because I didn't quit facilitating through a hard patch
How I rebuild after a rough session — what's the smallest next thing I do (a small tweak, one honest conversation, one piece of feedback sought)
How I track my own growth as a facilitator over time
A small win I can point to that kept me going
💭 MY MINDSET
The belief that kept me facilitating anyway ("not every session lands, and that's part of the craft")
How I talk to myself after a session that didn't go well — coach vs. critic
How I've come to see a "failed" session: as evidence I can't do this, or as data to refine my facilitation
A mindset shift I've made over time as a facilitator (e.g. from needing to be the expert, to trusting the process)
