117 - How to use systems thinking in facilitation with Johanna Tysk
It’s not uncommon for guests on workshops work to introduce new and unique angles to the practice of facilitation, but I should have known things would jump to another level when I invited transdisciplinary, systems-thinking, complexity-loving Johanna Tysk to the show!
Our conversation was intriguing, challenging, daring, and endlessly enjoyable.
Join us in this week’s episode for an exploration of systems thinking, object constellations, modern physics, and many more beautifully intertwined topics.
