Card Carrier Exclusive: How To Navigate Triggers using Facilitator Cards

​At our November Brain Jam we talked about understanding what happens when we get triggered, different strategies we can use in those moments to come back to being present, and how having plug-and-play strategies can be key to creating calm in those instances. This event, exclusive to our Facilitator Card Carrying community, is to delve deeper into those specific scenarios and focuses on build specific card sequences we can use.

​If you don’t feel like you encounter being triggered when you facilitate, or if you are someone who encounters similar challenging moments over and over again during facilitations, this event will be great for you too! Whether it’s a participant who keeps taking over a meeting, pulling rank in a conversation, or when someone disagrees with the agenda, we’ll be able to come up with a specific strategy for that moment together.

​​This session will be led by Meg Bolger, head of Facilitator Cards, and co-author of Unlocking the Magic of Facilitation.

​​Meg started doing social justice education and facilitation over a decade ago and knows how destructive it can be to not navigate your triggers well as a facilitator. Having spent many years running train-the-trainers and working with facilitators to level up their skills, Meg has had a lot of opportunities to hone in on how we as facilitators can navigate those moments successfully, to come back to being fully present with our groups, and respond rather than react to our participants.

​​In Unlocking the Magic of Facilitation, Meg and her co-author Sam devoted an entire chapter to understanding what happens when we get triggered (using Dr. Kathy Obears Triggering Events Cycle) and exploring the different options we have when that happens to us in a facilitation.
