Whether you are facilitating a strategy meeting, professional learning session or mediation, the solution is already there in the room.

I asked ChatGPT to generate a list of synonyms for possibility. In reviewing the list, I see that what is possible is already present. Our role as leader-facilitators is to be open to what’s possible, recognize it and help others find it within themselves. Even though—if we listen closely to ourselves—we may often find ourselves using limiting language.
