206 - Facilitation and the Needs for Autonomy, Competence and Relatedness with Ib Ravn (Part 2)

Self-Determination Theory posits that human motivation is driven by three central values: autonomy, competence, and relatedness.If we take SDT and apply it as a framework to facilitation, the parallels become apparent and abundant. Ib Ravn sees the opportunities here with great clarity and, as a result, has a lot of valuable insight to share about how we might use SDT in facilitation.In the context of SDT, we also discussed how facilitation can be used in social spaces and situations — and the challenges we are likely to come up against when we do so.Recording this episode was a delight. Ib is erudite, focused, and curious and our conversation unlocked new perspectives for me about facilitation in general and how I relate to it specifically. I hope it will prove to be as useful for you.Find out about:The natural connections between Self-Determination Theory and facilitationHow autonomy, competence, and relatedness fit into the heart of facilitationWhy more of our social spaces would benefit from facilitation and why it’s so hard to doInterrogating culturally acceptable facilitation and its past, present, and future limitsHow to facilitate with cultural and cross-cultural awarenessWhy acceptance of facilitation in social spaces has yet to catch up with professional spacesDon’t miss the next episode: subscribe to the show with your favourite podcast player.And download the free 1-page summary, so you can always have the key points of this episode to hand.LinksWatch the video recording of this episode on YouTube.Ib Ravn at the Danish School of Education.Connect to Ib:On LinkedInSupport the showCheck out the podcast map to see the overview of all podcast episodes: https://workshops.work/podcast-map
