Facilitating Engagement Isn't Enough with Brian Washburn","description":"Your learners don\u2019t need another \u201cfun\u201d workshop; they need results. In this episode, Jess and Brian Washburn unpack why engagement alone is a dangerous success metric and how to design for real performance change. Brian introduces his simple four-step facilitation model: Anchor, Content, Application, Future Use, which turns any session into a repeatable, effective learning experience. They explore how to equip SMEs to facilitate (without gimmicks), handle awkward moments like silence or \u201cI don\u2019t know,\u201d and adapt these principles for virtual and global audiences.
