Foundation of Facilitation

Authentic heart-based facilitation skills that make a powerful impact!

This 4-day course covers principles and practice of facilitating from the stage. Content is King!” Or is it?  Your content is only as good as their experience. If people don’t receive what you’re giving, then your sharing becomes pointless. 

Learn how to deliver your material in a way that is both authentically heart-based and makes a powerful impact on your audience. Discover how to make your audience want more of what you have to offer.  Engage in the interactive experiences of the Foundation of Facilitation Course.
