Every Facilitation Studio course is crafted specifically for your team, aligning with their unique needs, goals and experience levels. From "should we run a workshop?" to "that was incredible — look what we did."
Every training is tailored — but the courses are built on a proven curriculum. I customise from that foundation to land maximum impact.
Usually delivered over one or two days. Each builds on the outputs of the previous session, and they're spaced to allow the practical application of learnings.
I focus on understanding why you want to run a workshop, and defining the flow that takes you from start to end.
Working from your workshop brief I shift gears from "why" to "how" — the shape of the actual sessions you'll create.
Preparing to run a workshop event: the materials and pre-work that take you from agenda to the day itself.
Presentations are a core workshop tool — and one people learn by trial and error. This session shortcuts that.
The final session looks at what happens inside a workshop — the live moves that make or break it.
Depending on the needs of your organisation, I integrate a range of other sessions into the training programme.
In the core training I look at standard, regularly used workshop tools, adapted to your organisation. In this session I'll work with your team to design and practise bespoke tools or specific workshop formats your organisation often needs.
I'll design the workshop, the tools and the materials in your corporate brand and tooling, then practise and refine the delivery with your team.
Theory lands best when partnered with coaching and support in a real-world context. I can provide 1:1 coaching for select participants as they apply the training to their job — and act as a "ghost facilitator" to help them in planning and prep.
Best for people who learn by doing, with a safety net.
Four baseline ingredients — whatever shape your programme ends up taking.
A course and materials tailored to your team's experience and needs.
Live tuition, in-person or online — your call, based on logistics.
A year of individual online access to course materials, including pre-recorded versions of key modules.
Practical learning based on real-world projects your team is already addressing.
