I’m currently training to be an executive coach as I believe it will give me a complementary set of skills for the work I do as a facilitator. As part of my training I need to log a certain number of practice hours and so I’m looking for people who might be willing to try being coached…for free! A few details for anyone who might be interested: I am still in training, and won’t qualify officially for a few more months, but I am being taught by a very reputable coaching institution The offer is for 2 or 3 hour long coaching sessions, conducted virtually, where we can discuss and explore any career goals you have and what steps you might need to take to achieve them It doesn’t have to be about your facilitation career, but given this forum I’m expecting that’s what you might want to discuss There is absolutely no charge If you’re interested, please like this post and I’ll message you to set up some time to discuss things in a bit more detail, Thank you!

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?

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 🙏

The Action Board is one of our favorite exercises at AJ&Smart. If you haven’t tried it before, you should definitely give it a go in a meeting with your team or client. This exercise is super helpful for getting a group to make a decision on something when trying to decide between a few ideas. In the video, we go over exactly how to run this exercise and we have a real example that uses sticky notes from an actual client workshop we ran recently. So you get to see a how the Action Board exercise flows and what the end result looked like. Would love your feedback on this video and would also love to know if there are any other videos that you’d like us to work on.
