I would like to express some secondary professional activity in not so strong / embellishing style. Think, some knowledge/experience sharing inside the company, more informal rather than formal.

If I use 'Led xxx' it looks fine but a bit overhyped.

'Conducted xxx' seems to be ok, but natives don't use it at all; I see examples only from non-native speakers.

Any suggestions?

  • I am ready to change 'xxx' to any other 'xyz' - the wording doesn't matter; the verb does.

    Please spell out what you were in charge of so we can get a handle on it. Did you lead teams? Plan projects? Prepare onboarding? Led is not formal in the least. Also: Ran, forged, initiated, created, opened, introduced, merged, meshed, handled, brought, set, established, mentored, and ... delivered. Spearheaded or pioneered are good, but puffed up for the resume.

There is the precising definition of facilitate which is used in this context:

facilitating [noun]:

...

[2] the act or process of leading or moderating a discussion, especially as a person trained to do so:

  • His degree in social work, law practice, and counselling experience have been valuable in the facilitating of a support group for lawyers with depression.

[Dictionary.com]

It's a jargon usage, so not especially formal.

  • Thanks, the word is ok, but it implies more involvement. Also, there is a special format / role about facilitation - but the question is about less formal actions.
