#2 Tool: Four quick steps for when something throws you

Thursday, October 29, 2026 • Duration 02:48

A quick Toolbox episode to take into your next session: four practical steps for staying steady when something throws you mid-session.

If you want the psychology behind why these work, listen to the Deep Dive on wobble moments, the episode before this one (link below).

The four steps:

* Notice it, and name it to yourself: “Okay, this is a wobble.”

* Buy yourself some breathing space: a slow breath out, feet into the floor/grip the desk, and a rehearsed go-to phrase.

* Get curious, and try a different frame: swap the panicky story for a question.

* Try something small, and see what happens: an experiment, not a test.

Afterwards, ask yourself: What threw me? What did I do? What might I try next time?

One thing to try before your next session: choose your go-to phrase and practise it out loud a few times.

🤿 Go deeper: How to stay steady when something throws you (Deep Dive episode on this topic).

🎧 For longer conversations about the human stories behind group work, listen to my other podcast, The Human Side of Facilitation.

💬 What helps you in a wobble moment? I’d love to hear. Email me at tom@tom-cleary.co.uk, or message me on Substack.
