@Reimo Rehkli Coaching can be for individuals or teams. I'll add this: In team coaching, each member has personal goals that align with the team's overall aim. For example, a coach might help a team improve their collaboration, with each member focusing on how they can contribute to better teamwork. For large groups, like Tony Robbins coaching an entire arena, he provides life guidance that resonates with many, even without knowing each person's specific goals.

@Sam Donaldson maybe you should rewrite last paragraph. 😉

@Jonathan Sharp, what’s the reason you would like to propose an LDJ workshop as a solution? From other department point of view: What is the problem? What is the objective? Do you have clear answers to that?

@Jonathan Sharp without knowing the details, if I were you I would dig more and ask him: - Why does he think they need a workshop? - Why not do the things the same way they’ve done before? - Why now? Why not wait for couple of month? - What would solving X problem do for him and his team (beside give them the momentum)? - What is the desired outcome, not just the output? - What did they try before that didn’t work? Answers to all of these questions are your selling points. And yes, they are unique to each situation because workshops are just the vehicle to the desired result. Let us know hpw it goes 🙂

@Anat Akiva, I like that you use the go-to statement. But what if you simplify it even more, like how you would explain it to a 10-year-old? That way, it won't feel too abstract. To better understand your audience, you can do even more research beforehand and work with the event organizer to learn their language. For example, I noticed that my target clients sometimes have negative feelings toward the word "workshop," so I don't use it. On the other hand, when they hear the word "facilitation" for the first time, I usually put it into the right context for them because they don't understand what it means. The bottom line is that when you're promoting yourself, focus on how the other person will benefit. Ask yourself, "What's in it for them?" If you can answer that it means you address their pain points and desires and connect them with yourself. And then you don't even need to use words such as "workshops" or "facilitation" because people will still understand that you are the person who can help them, which is your goal.

@David Newman exactly! 30 seconds can fly by when you have to say something reasonable to a room full of strangers 🙂

@Zhuo Zhang Here’s my facilitation tech stack… Remote facilitation: Butter, Miro Design consulting: Figma Remote training: Zoom, eCamm, Keynote In-person training: Pitch Pre-survey and Feedback: Typeform

@Zhuo Zhang one thing Pitch has over Keynote is that with Pitch you can use other app while you’re in the “presentation mode” that Keynote just won’t allow you without closing Presentation view. E.g. you cannot use Spotify and Keynote while presenting during the training.
