What this episode covers
What if the real power of a presentation isn’t how much you talk, but how much your audience talks? Many speakers focus on perfecting slides and scripts, yet overlook the moments between people where real engagement happens. Strategist and master facilitator Karen Bowen sits down with Rob to explore why facilitation, not presentation, is the skill that turns passive listeners into active participants. Drawing on her work in emotional intelligence, resilience, and leadership development, Karen shares practical ways speakers can create dialogue, spark insight, and make their message memorable long after the room clears.
