Meet your facilitator

Once upon a time (longer ago than I like to admit) my very first job as an IT consultant threw me into facilitation. Without any specific training, it was a challenge. Thankfully ‘Death by PowerPoint’ never felt appealing, while using collaborative tools instinctively felt right — the good old post-its and whiteboards.

During my carer in different coaching and leadership roles around the world, I studied and improved my facilitation and presentation skills. With a keen interest in psychology, neuroscience and play theory, I discovered ways to tackle the increased expectation of innovation, fast pace and distractions of smartphones. Keeping your participants engaged by play – serious or silly.
