It’s always fun to deliver a project but as we all know as facilitators, many of the lessons learned are discovered in the reflection!

Benefits and advantages of co-facilitation
Process of building, creating the Virtually Possible facilitation program

Ep127: How to structure a 60 minute virtual workshop that delights your participants with Leanne Hughes
Today I share my approach, mindset, key considerations and structure, on how to deliver a 60 min virtual training session, or workshops - that boosts interaction and engagement. The methods I share on today’s show are simple - no use of difficult technology, just simple ways to mix things up and keep you audience front and centre.
This episode was inspired by a question that came through on The Flipchart community last week from Yishan Chan, host of the Talent Stack podcast.
She asked, “Hi Leanne, is there a short podcast episode I can share with my workplace on why we need to think differently about how Zoom "show and tell" sessions are run?”

Episode 126 - Facilitation for Innovation: Mixing together madness, measure and magic sauce with Joeri Schilders
Many leaders, teams and companies talk about innovation. It’s often a company value. Yet, we still see traditional work practices, and not a lot of real innovation happening. So, what is innovation? Joeri Schilders believes innovation isn’t a simple 7-step framework. He says it’s more like a street fight (and he’s been in a few).
We talk about that (and more) in this week’s First Time Facilitator podcast episode.
If I was playing a game of corporate buzzword meeting bingo, the one word I’d like on my bingo card would be: Innovation!
(“Unprecedented” would be my second choice).
