Welcome
Facilitators are the bridge between world-class GLS faculty and the leaders in the room. You are not a performer, but a servant leader—shaping the atmosphere, guiding reflection, and creating space for transformation. Your presence, preparation, and authenticity help participants connect what they hear to what they can live out.

Lesson 1:

Learn how to create a warm, authentic atmosphere that reflects your local context.
-
Embrace GLS’s mission of equipping leaders for positive change and anchor your facilitation in it.

Lesson 3:
Leading the Experience with Presence and Preparation
