During today's podcast, I speak with Leanne Hughes, international facilitator, speaker and podcaster about how she practices staying centered when facilitating. Leanne shares so many facilitation tips on how to manage nerves and manage energy levels when holding space for groups. She shares that most of the time, when we get nervous it is because we are trying to convince ourselves that we are worthy. However, all we need to do is get enough experience under our belt to work with self-doubt. Journaling and movement can also be a powerful tools to help reframe the internal dialogue. Take a listen to the whole episode and share your thoughts with us on Instagram @OneWade and @Leannehughes
