Vertical Facilitation Papers
An Introduction to the Art and Practice of Vertical Facilitation
In this white paper, we introduce key ideas and distinctions related to the growing of such inner capabilities, which we call Vertical Facilitation.
First, we want to speak to what we mean by “inner growth”, making a differentiation between vertical and horizontal growth, or learning.
Then, we dive into the unique qualities that characterize what vertical learning is, and, in particular, the necessarily transformative quality which such a manner of learning entails. It is our assertion if we are to grow our capacity for inner agility, we will need to get better at catalyzing vertical learning.
Finally, we provide a brief overview of one possible methodology for vertical facilitation and how might represent and model that methodology.
