237: The Missing Leadership Skill: How Facilitation Transforms Modern Leadership with Therese Miclot

Have you ever wondered what it takes to become a true change agent as a leader? Or how to future-proof your leadership career in 2025 and beyond?

In a world where technical skills alone are no longer enough, the ability to facilitate conversations, drive alignment, and unlock the potential of teams has become the missing piece in modern leadership.

Today’s guest, Therese Miclot, shares the one skill that sets impactful leaders apart: facilitation. We explore why facilitation is essential for scaling organizations, fostering engagement, and leading with impact—and provide practical tips on the art of inclusive meetings, including how to balance authority and approachability and why great facilitators make the best problem solvers.

 

We dive into:

  • How facilitation skills can future-proof your career, helping you become a more adaptable, resilient, and sought-after leader in any industry
  • Practical facilitation techniques for removing obstacles and making meetings more productive and inclusive
  • Why self-talk is your hidden leadership nemesis and how it shapes your ability to facilitate effectively
  • The power of trust-building and executive presence—and why the most effective leaders don’t just talk, they activate others through facilitation
  • And more

 

Whether you’re leading a small team or a global organization, facilitation can be your secret weapon for driving change and future-proofing your career. Don’t miss this conversation!
