Ask Andres Marquez-Lara what it takes to lead in the 21st century, and his answer will come swift and sure: facilitation.

And facilitation? That’s nothing more — and nothing less— than putting curiosity to work in powerful ways personally, professionally, individually and collectively.

Andres is founder and CEO of UFacilitate, a global platform for matching facilitators with folks who need them, industry sector agnostic. As they put it, UFacilitate helps leaders deal with the “messy, human stuff” that gets in the way of teams achieving their greatest potential.

"Facilitating is like playing 3-D chess. You have to be aware of what you’re feeling – your own things – you have to be aware of what’s happening with people, what’s happening in the room, the agenda. So you’re mindful of time, of the energy of all these things that are happening, and then you have to make a choice. Facilitation is all about choices." ~ Andres Marquez-Lara
