😱 My conversations with young people suggest we don't have clear progression pathways for them in the events industry. I want to hear from you: 👉 What is preventing us from truly supporting the growth and development of young professionals in events? 👉 Are companies not prioritizing mentorship and training? 👉 Do we lack adequate resources for their professional growth? 👉 Is it the competitive culture that discourages collaboration and knowledge sharing? I wish I had all the solutions, but the first step is identifying the systemic barriers that are hindering young talent from thriving in our industry. This situation is not sustainable long-term. We need to nurture the next generation to ensure a vibrant and innovative future for events. What's holding us back from fixing this? Share your thoughts below or in my DMs because your courage could be the catalyst we need. #Profeshonali #YoungProfessionalsInEvents #EventsIndustryChallenges #SupportYoungTalent #MentorshipMatters #FutureOfEvents

Meetings, workshops and projects can get a bit spicy if no one is managing the different personalities and ideas mixing in the room. We've all been there. 👀 🦸 But once you learn how to facilitate effectively, there’s a true superpower in getting different minds to work together. What makes us unique is what creates the magic. 🪄 If you agree, check out our next Certificate in Facilitation. 📙 We've combined the powers of our internal facilitation training and lessons from our startup founders to create this practical workshop.

Live events, such as retreats and workshops, are incredible opportunities to connect with your community and provide meaningful experiences. However, many organizers face financial challenges and struggle to make their events profitable. I went through those hurdles too, but it was the right mentoring that allowed me to avoid common mistakes and ensure that my events flourished. The key to success is understanding the true needs of your community and knowing how to manage resources strategically. Because, in the end, your success is not a stroke of luck, it is the result of learning from mistakes, adapting and making smart decisions. #SuccessfulEvents #SuccessMentoring #SuccessfulWithdrawals #EventOrganization #JonBlock #AbundanceRetreat

Great points here on the traps that even the best facilitators can fall into if they don’t take the time for reflection. Well worth a read if you run workshops/F2F sessions as part of your #LearningAndDevelopment

⭐️ NEW MONTHLY MASTERCLASSES In 2024, I was part of the amazing community NeverDoneBefore, where I co-facilitated monthly book-based workshops for the other members. As someone who mostly solo-facilitates, it was an amazing experience to enter the world of co-facilitation. Our design meetings would sometimes start with a spark of an idea from one of us, and then we would ad lib from there, often coming up with something totally out of the realm of what either of us had been thinking at the start. The creativity was endless. With the NDB community now closed, I decided to keep this monthly co-facilitation momentum going. Starting this month, I will be co-hosting a "masterclass" (aka workshop) based on a book each month. These masterclasses will be 100% open to the public (rather than just the NDB members or my clients) and will have a sliding scale payment model. My hope for these masterclasses is many: 💚 continue to grow my facilitation skills as I partner with other seasoned facilitators 💛 boost my creativity as we riff off one another's ideas 🩷 provide additional options for my corporate clients and their employees 💙 grow my network of fellow facilitators as we design together 💜 give non-book-circle peeps an option to experience my work without the long-term commitment of a book circle And so much more. For January, I am co-hosting with the fun and funny Lucy Chambers using the book "Likeable Badass" as our foundation for the masterclass. Lucy, I hope we can have as much fun as we did during our Shark Tank session on conflict. Do you think we can? To all my fellow facilitators, if you'd like to team up with me, and we have never co-facilitated before, it would be an honor. Please drop me a line in the comments or via message. I would love to partner with you! I hope to see you at one soon! #emergebookcircles #readdeepernotfaster #workshops #cofacilitation

Let’s recap on our 6th Annual Conference 👇🏻 What a fantastic two days we’ve had together at our conference last month! Thank you to everyone who joined us.

The sessions are extremely relevant and well-structured - with plenty of time for reflection and discussion. The team are so knowledgeable, approachable and have brilliant presentation styles which enable the delegates to open up and share experiences. You all make it look so easy! Thank you - it was brilliant - as always.” - Jane Warwick 💬 “I enjoyed all of it, but in particular the talks from Steve and The Mentors, enabling me to learn more about The Chimp Model and its application.” - Liz Pillans We're excited about our upcoming event and can't wait to welcome both familiar faces and new friends!

How do you want to feel at the end of a workshop or training session? I like to build in time at the end of any sessions I facilitate to find out! A simple invitation to 'share one word to describe how you're feeling at the end of the session'. This serves multiple purposes: - It gives an indication of feedback about how people are feeling. - It gives an opportunity for people to have a voice and share with each other. - It helps people leave on a bit of a high. Which is likely to mean they'll recall the event and what they've learnt. What's your favourite way of ending a workshop? ________________________________________________ I'm Sarah.
