Learn how to confidently facilitate remote meetings and workshops

As the world goes into lockdown and more teams move to remote working the skill of facilitation is even more invaluable in ensuring we create enjoyable and effective spaces for collaboration online. That’s why we’ve developed a facilitation program tailored to the needs of distributed teams.

Over the course of three 90 minute sessions you will not only learn practical skills that you can start using straight away but you will also experience what it feels like to collaborate with others as part of a facilitated online workshop.
