Looking for facilitation experience

Hi there! I'm looking for facilitators in the UK (or possibly Germany) that I could shadow and assist for a session. I did Facilitation Fundamentals last year and absolutely loved it! Since then I've run several workshops at my company (I'm Marketing Director there), mostly remotely as my company is based in Germany and I live in the UK. It's amazing to see meetings transform and get real results 😊 and I enjoy it immensely. But as my role is different, I am unfortunately expected to do other things besides running workshops 😐😅.

Lately I've been feeling like I want to make a change in my career. I'm turning 50 this year, so what better time than now? Workshop facilitation has a very strong pull on me, so I'd like to explore different styles of facilitation and possibly different industries (I'm generally very drawn to people professions, but I'm also curious to explore other areas).

If you're generally interested, we could do a Zoom chat to get to know each other. If anyone has other suggestions as to how I might dip my toes out of my usual facilitation waters, even some conferences or things I could attend, please let me know. I strongly feel that I do not want to go my first steps alone and learn from or with someone else - I'm open to experienced facilitators and fellow newbies who might want support with their first workshops.
