205 - How to Facilitate with Equitable Hospitality with Maha Bali
Description
It’s never been more important to facilitate with an awareness of power dynamics, systemic imbalances, and inequity within groups.
The progress we’ve made—collectively—towards awareness and understanding of inequalities has been enormous, but the next big step is to do deliberate work to counter it. We’ve got all the awareness we could dream of and the time has come for us to act on that knowledge, rather than treat it as an end in itself.
Maha Bali’s explanations and exemplifications of Intentionally Equitable Hospitality will go a long way to helping you make equity a part of your work. IEH is a deliberate approach to facilitation that prioritises structural and environmental design to create accessible, sensitive, and inclusive spaces.
It was eye-opening and joyful to speak with Maha.
