Navigating panic
Hey community. As a fresh facilitator I struggle a lot with what is my exact offer and what are the benefits. It's strange because I have a bunch of workshops recipes but I struggle so much with what is my SPECIFIC offer to the market. The offer needs to be genuine and come from experience as well as fit the market but what market?! I've been getting a lot of compliments on my listening skills and my energy which is basically 50% of the workshop. But answering the question "what do they get out?" Is so daunting. Yeah they feel better but what do they get in their hands, what kind of practical thing will they have that will change their life just a little bit. I had a number of workshops on different topics (for free) and they were all successful. But now that Im becoming a professional my ADHD is going mad. I know fixing the offer is a manageable task but it's also easy to pull hair on it. If you go this far, could you please like this post, I'm trying to get to level 3 to unlock a course 🙏

Offering a 'downloadable' workshop as an intro offer?
Hey guys, shower thoughts: 🚿 has anyone offered a DIY version of their workshop before? Particularly those who've created there own workshops/frameworks and conduct them virtually. Do you think offering a low-cost way to access a workshop Miro board help or hinder their sales process? Some Pros of this would be that those out of your geographic range can still experience your workshop or there might be in-house facilitators who want to run your special workshop internally, it's also low commitment and could lead to bigger jobs later. Cons would be that if it doesnt provide any outcomes, or the customer doesn't have a good experience with it, it leaves a bad impression and they decide to not interact with your brand again. What do you think? Done this before? Bad idea, good idea?

Road to Leaving the 9-5
Hi everyone - I have been slowing building my facilitation business around my 9-5 job, but am looking to secure enough clients in the next year to officially leave my 9-5. It's an exciting journey, but nerve-wreaking at the same time. A few questions for the group: 1. how long did it take you to excite full-time employment (if you had a full-time job before facilitation work)? 2. What industry to you find your most successful facilitations from? 3. What is your favorite workshop energizer to get the group excited again after lunch?

Favourite creativity exercises?
Hi all! Just wondering - what are some of your favourite go-to methods to use in a workshop if you want people to express themselves creatively in a group? For example, after the group has gotten some input, some date to work with, and the outcome you want to achieve is that the participants put this new information into "practise" and through some creative activity maybe see it in a new perspective? For example, I have used the approach of asking them to create a short-form (for ex. 3 minute) play so they can symbolize and act out what they have just heard or making a collage. What else comes to mind, what are your experiences? Or do you even use approaches like these? Looking forward to hearing your thoughts. :)
