Facilitators’ Dojo
Skills for nimble cross-boundary collaboration.
Facilitate genuine collaboration that bridges divides.
Welcome to the Facilitators’ Dojo—a powerful skill-building space designed specifically for Agile practitioners like you, who face the daunting task of bringing together diverse groups across organizational boundaries.
We understand that silos can make strangers out of colleagues – and how challenging it is to maintain a comprehensive view when deep expertise can unintentionally narrow our perspective.
It’s not uncommon to feel misunderstood, or to find that trust builds frustratingly slowly within collaboration.
Enhanced listening skills are essential—not only to prevent the onset of impatience and misunderstanding but to foster a genuinely collaborative environment.
Here in the Dojo, you’ll learn not just to hold a neutral and receptive stance, but also to facilitate these experiences for your groups, ensuring that every voice is heard and valued.
Join us to build your skills in the art of facilitation to bridge divides and build stronger, more cohesive collaboration. This is a high bar, but when we cultivate relationships and connection, we can generate learning, enjoyment, and intrinsic satisfaction for collaborations no matter how strong the silos.

Most cross-boundary collaborations are stymied by differences ... they don't have to be.
What you'll learn
- Unleash more productive and satisfying cross boundary meetings.
- Tap into the collective brilliance of your groups.
- Uplevel your ability to hold more perspectives and work with complexity - even 'on the fly'.
- Learn how to make a change in direction or process to respond to what is needed.
- Reinforce mutual understanding and sense-making, without ‘flattening’ the outcome.
How it works
Our decades of work with highly effective facilitative leaders and coaches reveals a shared characteristic: the most adaptive facilitative leaders possess a suite of facilitative leadership skills that increase their situational agility, particularly when collaborating across boundaries.
And the cornerstone of developing such agility? Experiential practice. You’ll play with your peers in an array of skill-building activities and scenarios.
This fun, engaging, immersive experience will boost your confidence and enhance your facilitation skills elevating the effectiveness of your conversations and meetings.
The 2.5 hour learning experience is built around:
- Live skills practice with a master Integral Facilitator®, and practice with your peers.
- Self-awareness and peer feedback.
- Clear personal takeaways.
- Additional bonus resources, including downloadable tipsheets and self-assessments.
In the dojo, embodied skills practice strengthens your ability to make all kinds of collaboration work.
And the cherry on top?
It’s the opportunity to learn from each other. We are gathering a vibrant community of diverse people, each with unique experiences and ways of facilitating. Who said learning only comes from trainers? Peer learning is powerful, and we value that.
