概要

 Jacob Green built a facilitation firm of 30 leaders after a career in local government — but his earliest facilitation training started at 14, helping run retreats aimed at reducing hate and conflict on a public high school campus. In this episode, Jacob shares what makes facilitators effective (curiosity, language, listening), how public-sector retreats really work, and why “cognitive diversity” is one of the biggest levers for high-performing teams. He also makes the case that environment isn’t a nice-to-have — it’s the container that determines what’s possible.Episode ThemesJacob’s origin story: brain injury, rehab, and the leadership lessons that became his bookBuilding a facilitation firm of 30: structure, quality control, and learning from each otherFacilitation fundamentals: ask better questions, listen more, stop “performing”How to break into public sector retreats: conferences, niches, relationships, and languagePublic vs. private sector: different constraints, same human problemsCognitive diversity: what it is, why it matters, and how to work with gaps on a teamWhy environment matters more than people think — and why facilitators should own the venue decisionChapters00:00 — Welcome + what this show is about00:40 — Jacob’s background and why Dan starts with the book01:15 — “See Change Clearly”: brain injury, rehab, and leadership lessons03:20 — Building a company: why Jacob didn’t want to be a solopreneur05:40 — Facilitation at 14: retreats, conflict, and learning the craft early08:10 — What good facilitators actually do: curiosity, questions, listening10:00 — Training experienced execs to stop telling war stories12:00 — Landing public-sector clients: where to speak and who to target16:10 — Language that works (and fails) in government environments18:05 — What public-sector retreats look like in reality20:00 — The AEM Cube + cognitive diversity (and how to handle gaps)23:40 — What happens when facilitation scales (and why it improves quality)26:40 — The environment argument: space, memory, trauma, and why venue matters29:10 — Closing thoughtsAbout the Guest – Jacob GreenJacob Green is a nationally recognized leadership and organizational development expert, bestselling author, and master facilitator with nearly two decades of executive experience across local government and the private sector.
