Quotes from the episode

Whenever I’m planning a learning experience, I start by identifying a clear goal for the experience.

-Tolu Noah

I don’t think there’s necessarily one right way to approach planning.

-Tolu Noah

A really important aspect of facilitation is that yes, you have a plan, but you also need to be flexible with that plan and be willing to take a rest stop or a detour if needed.

-Tolu Noah

Timing is probably one of the most important aspects of facilitation.

-Tolu Noah
