Episode 84: Be where your facilitation feet are with Ingrid Thompson
You’re in for a delightful listen this week as I’m interviewing a superstar facilitator, Ingrid Thompson from healthynumbers.com.au.
Ingrid is an educator, problem solver and the Founder of Healthy Numbers.
Ingrid describes herself as a sponge, particularly a learning sponge. She loves listening and reading and building, and absorbing all the knowledge, so she can share that with you.
In this show, we talk about Ingrid’s fascinating career history and what she’s achieved over the years, which is so impressive, she’s a master of the career pivot. We talk about how she was given an opportunity working in training and development - how she cracked it and made it into that team by being given an opportunity.
Ingrid also shares her #1 advice for facilitation, and she draws parallels between her yoga and pilates background into the way she facilitates. She also shares a couple of fantastic stories of where things went wrong in her workshops, as well as some strategies on how she overcame those - I think it’s nice to hear these type of stories every now and then, to I guess remember that we are in a game which can be full of unpredictability.
Ingrid is extremely enjoyable and easy to listen to, articulate and a wonderful communicator.
I’m grateful, that because of this podcast, we reconnected after a couple years to have this conversation and that we can share all the learnings with all of you.
