FCC 2026: Save the Date for a Different Kind of Leadership Immersion

June 1–5, 2026 • St. Paul, MN

If you’ve been craving a learning space that’s human, brave, grounded, and actually effective (instead of, say, a politely facilitated spiral into jargon-land), block out June 1–5, 2026.

Facilitating Cultural Change (FCC) is returning — a five-day immersive for leaders who want to deepen their intercultural capacity, strengthen their ability to navigate complexity, and build cultures where people actually thrive, not just survive.

FCC isn’t a technical workshop. It’s a developmental experience.
It changes how people lead.

⭐ Why FCC, Why Now?

We’re living in a moment defined by cultural friction, overlapping crises, and rapidly shifting expectations of leadership. “Winging it” is not a viable strategy anymore — not for organizations, not for teams, and definitely not for the humans leading them.

FCC offers a structured, research-based, deeply relational space to build the mindset and skillset needed to work across cultural differences with clarity, humility, and effectiveness.

Participants consistently walk away seeing themselves — and their leadership — differently.

⭐ What You’ll Learn Over Five Days

FCC weaves together intercultural development, movement analysis, trauma-informed practice, conflict skills, and systems change tools. Across the week, you will:

• Understand your intercultural developmental edge and how to grow it

• Learn to bridge across differences without losing authenticity

• Strengthen your ability to hold conflict in productive, skillful ways

• Work with power intentionally and contextually

• Explore trauma, resiliency, and how our nervous systems shape leadership

• Build cultures of mattering, belonging, and equity

• Connect theory to real-world application in your organizational context

This is leadership development that’s honest, spacious, practical, and deeply aligned with justice.

⭐ Who Facilitates FCC?

FCC is guided by a team of seasoned practitioners who bring depth, clarity, and an extraordinary ability to create a learning environment where transformation is both possible and supported:

Beth Zemsky brings decades of expertise in intercultural development, systems change, and movement leadership. Her work has shaped this field and continues to guide practitioners nationally.

Liz Loeb brings movement strategy, heart-forward leadership, and the ability to make complex human dynamics feel navigable and grounded.

Athena Adkins brings strategic clarity, pragmatism, and a commitment to making big ideas usable in real systems and real relationships.

Together, they create a container where people grow in ways that stay with them long after the week ends.

⭐ Who Is FCC For?

FCC is designed for leaders, facilitators, organizers, consultants, managers, and practitioners who:

• Work across cultural differences

• Navigate conflict, complexity, or systems change

• Are ready to deepen their capacity, not just learn new tools

• Want a leadership practice rooted in equity, humanity, and effectiveness

If you read that and felt even the faintest oh… that’s me, you belong in this room.
