Hey community. As a fresh facilitator I struggle a lot with what is my exact offer and what are the benefits. It's strange because I have a bunch of workshops recipes but I struggle so much with what is my SPECIFIC offer to the market. The offer needs to be genuine and come from experience as well as fit the market but what market?! I've been getting a lot of compliments on my listening skills and my energy which is basically 50% of the workshop. But answering the question "what do they get out?" Is so daunting. Yeah they feel better but what do they get in their hands, what kind of practical thing will they have that will change their life just a little bit. I had a number of workshops on different topics (for free) and they were all successful. But now that Im becoming a professional my ADHD is going mad. I know fixing the offer is a manageable task but it's also easy to pull hair on it. If you go this far, could you please like this post, I'm trying to get to level 3 to unlock a course 🙏

Hey Facilitators! 👋 As we're getting close to the end of the year, I wanted to let you know about our call schedule for the coming weeks, and when we're "closing" for the holidays. Tomorrow (December 19th), we have our regular Coaching Call at 4pm CET. After that, we'll be taking a break from calls for the holidays, with calls resuming on January 9th (the first coaching call of the year is January 9th 2024 at 4pm CET). We'll also be slow to respond in the community between December 22nd and January 3rd, BUT we'd urge you to keep using the community over the holidays to connect with your fellow Facilitators 💛 We've really enjoyed getting to know you all this year - thanks for making this community so amazing. Happy Holidays from all of here at AJ&Smart! 🤗

Heading to Ho Chi Minh City tomorrow after been surrounded by flood waters for a couple of days, and without power for part of that time. Two weekends ahead of running a masters course in Creativity for Solvay, public workshop on Creativity, promoting World Creativity Day/Week next April, and discussions with a university about a 4-month engagement, which might include teaching facilitation skills. I have a busy 10 days coming up.

I just participated in a demo of this relatively new tool for online meetings. It is especially designed for Workshop facilitation and has several tools integrated. You can - for example - prepare your entire workshop within butter, including the preparation of breakout rooms and assign tasks to every room. They have templates like "AJ&Smart's favorite icebreakers" and many more... Check it out: https://www.butter.us

Hey hey! Want to see behind the scenes of a masssssive sales and marketing training in Florida? The whole AJ&Smart marketing and sales team went 2 weeks ago and it was mindblowing. The conference/training itself is called "Funnel Hacking Live" We all got VERY sick afterward but it was an amazing experience. This is a pretty experimental vlog type... quite long, kinda like a home movie, we honestly don't know if people will like the style, but I hope it's useful or fun to some of you! Cheers, J
