How To Hold Space in Groups

There are people who hold space. And there are people who actually hold space. Holding space means holding shadow and holding light—and holding yourself while you hold others. This episode is Danielle's commencement speech to Xchange, a group of teachers and facilitators led by Jon Berghoff. It's a love letter to everyone who gets on stage to lead—virtually or in high heels. Embracing your fear is your greatest strength. You can't change anybody, but you will change people's lives. Nobody can drain your energy, but you must protect yourself. To bless people is to be blessed. Listen in for the five contradictions of holding space and the real talk on what it means to own the mic, own the room, and show up as yourself. Plus: why you need to be ready to lead the moment you leave your hotel room, not right before you get on stage.
