I’m Johnnie Moore, and I help people work better together

WebI’m going to run a couple of open workshops in November. They’re in London on November 6th and 7th.

They’re for anyone who wants to get more out of meetings. I’ve developed this approach with Viv based on working in all sorts of places from Scotland to the Solomon Islands and with all kinds of organisations from corporates to charities.  The approach is informal, fun and way more engaging than your standard “turn to page 94 of the manual” training.

The first is on The Basics! It’s a day of the core ideas we use to help get more out of meetings, protect against death-by-powerpoint and get people more involved and interested.

The second is about Facilitation as Performance. Beyond tips and techniques, effective facilitation is a demanding performance. Viv and I have developed a few interesting ways to help you get more out of yourself when your on-the-spot and dealing with the unexpected.

There’s an early bird rate of £195 plus VAT until October 10th.

Details of both days are here.
