Facilitation as a Leadership Practice: Transforming Learning Through the Five Personas

In this episode of Talent Development Leader podcast, Moe Poirier, founder of Shift Facilitation and creator of the Five Personas of Facilitation, explains how talent development leaders can elevate facilitation from a tactical skill to a strategic leadership capability. Drawing on more than 25 years of experience, Moe shares how facilitators can adapt their presence through five distinct personas: the Sensei, Drill Sergeant, Superhero, Confidant, and Jester.  Moe describes what great facilitation has in common with great leadership, how managers can apply the Five Personas in everyday conversations, and why human connection becomes even more valuable as AI takes on more content delivery. Listen to this podcast and learn how transformational facilitation not only creates transformative learning experiences, but shapes organizational learning culture and positions facilitators as ambassadors of an organization's learning brand and change strategy.
