Unprofessionalism
Professional performance is exhausting. Maintaining the mask. Editing ourselves. Pretending we know when we don't.
This podcast is about people who dropped the performance. And what happened next.
Each episode features someone who broke professional conventions and found something better on the other side: the executive who disclosed grief in a corporate setting and found it opened new ways of relating; the coach who realised her authority came from integrity, not compliance; the designer who ignored the 'approved tools' and saved thousands of hours.
Conversations circle around three questions:
- What does it cost us to perform professionalism instead of showing up as ourselves?
- How do we create spaces where people can bring their full attention and humanity to work?
- When is the “unprofessional” move actually the most responsible one?
If you feel the tension between who you are and who you're expected to be at work, this podcast shows you what happens when people stop managing that tension and just stop performing.
Hosted by Dr Myriam Hadnes—behavioural economist and founder of workshops.work. New episode every week.

278 - Understanding the Difference between a Facilitator and a Trainer with The NDB Course Faculty
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Over the years, I’ve had many magnificent facilitators in the podcast chair who identify as trainers, and many talented trainers who identify as facilitators. Where does the line blur? Is there a line? Dare I ask, should there be?
We settle it once and for all in this special LinkedIn Live conversation with my NDB Course Faculty! We discuss why Facilitation and Training exist on a spectrum with fluctuating frequencies of knowledge sharing, leadership, emergence and ownership - ultimately both trying to achieve change from differing angles.
Join us for a purist vs freethinker exploration, as we navigate assumptions, challenge definitions, and colour in the Facilitator-Trainer spectrum.
Find out about:
- The key differences between the role of Facilitation and Training
- Why it’s important to consider linguistic distinctions and nuances when defining terms such as Facilitator and Trainer
- Why facilitators leverage the knowledge in the room, and trainers bridge gaps of knowledge in the room
- The role of emergence in training and how to design workshops that make space for it
- Client expectations: why it’s vital to educate clients on the difference between the two roles
- Where leadership exists in the spectrum of training and facilitation
