Buddy UP and Get Onboard - Deep-Dive Virtual Facilitation Program

IF YOU CAN DO IT IN THE ROOM, YOU CAN DO IT ONLINE!

This deep-dive virtual facilitation program is a very (virtually) hands-on series, designed to have you apply what you learn immediately in your own courses/programs. To help you achieve this, we will have you buddy up with a colleague, to support and challenge each other between workshops.

How do you get your quieter participants to open up and share? What is psychological safety, and why is this so important with virtual training? Can you overcome your Zoom fatigue and that of your participants? How do I make learning even more engaging and impactful than in-person workshops?

If you want answers to these questions, this is the workshop series for you.
