Bec Lang

Bec has been working as a group facilitator for most of her adult life. She first fell into the facilitation role when studying at university and then grew into it professionally when working for government in the Community Landcare Program, a farming and environmental initiative supporting farming families and communities to work together to address land degradation issues.

Bec worked in the public sector in the fields of natural resource management, industry development, organisational change and leadership development. She held senior leadership and management roles, designed and delivered whole-of-agency change initiatives and is an experienced coach.

Bec now runs a consulting practice specialising in stakeholder engagement and community and organisational development. She facilitates a wide range of groups where, commonly, there are diverse and often conflicting views and agendas about the issues being discussed.

When I discovered Process Work many years ago it changed my life. I’d felt like I’d found home and it helped shape who I am and how I work in the world. Process Work opened my eyes to the possibility of seeing conflict as a disturbance, which disrupts our sense of equilibrium, and represents a doorway to rich and potentially transforming information that wants to be explored and understood. This shapes the ways I engage people in conversations that matter; conversations which enable all the different and often conflicting viewpoints and voices to be heard, so that there is the possibility of creating connection, shared understanding and healing.

Bec is actively involved in facilitation training and development and regularly delivers a Masterclass in Facilitation in Adelaide. This program enables participants to deepen their understanding of the role of facilitation and develop their facilitation skills. She was also a member of the staff facilitation teams at the Poland Worldwork forum in 2014 and the Greece Worldwork forum in 2017.
