workshops work Podcast
This is a podcast about facilitation: the practice of creating conditions for people to think better together.
Whether you’re leading strategy, navigating change or developing leaders, the quality of your conversations shapes the quality of your decisions.
Hosted by Dr Myriam Hadnes, behavioural economist, facilitator and founder of workshops.work, each episode explores the human dynamics of working together: how psychological safety is built, why some conversations lead to action while others stall, how leaders foster genuine participation, and what behavioural science can teach us about collaboration. Alongside these conversations, Dr Hadnes shares reflections from her own client work, offering practical insights from the realities of designing and facilitating workshops in organisations.
Recognised as the facilitation community’s most-recommended podcast in SessionLab’s State of Facilitation reports from 2024 to 2026, the show has grown into an archive of more than 350 conversations spanning the craft, the inner work, and the unexpected edges of facilitation. Whether you’re a facilitator, leader, consultant or L&D professional, you'll come away with sharper questions and a few ideas worth borrowing.

245 - Unleashing the Power of Movement in Facilitation with Kate Spacek
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
A sense of belonging is one of the incalculable elements of a healthy, happy team. It’s either there or it’s not, right?
Not so, as Kate Spacek explains in this episode.
Kate’s work, for many years, has been in the realm of belonging: how we feel it, generate it, and nurture it. That work has brought her closer and closer to a strong thesis: that movement, sensing, and awareness are foundational to the whole process.
In this episode, she shares the journey of discover she’s been on, the most valuable tips and tricks she’s learned, and where she sees movement fitting in the wider world of facilitation. It’s a fascinating tool to add to one’s toolbox — don’t miss out.
Find out about:
- How Kate works to generate and amplify a sense of belonging in her facilitation
- Why building a workshop on foundations of humour, playfulness, and levity creates a more accepting environment
- How movement helps us access ourselves and others in a deeper way
- Why moving without feeling is an incomplete process
- How corporate work gets our brains and bodies out of balance
- What we can learn from our bodies that our brains can’t tell us
