Amsterdam workshops this week

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

Don’t know why I didn’t mention this before but Viv is doing two workshops in Amsterdam this week.

Thursday’s is called Bring Your Meetings to LIfe – I think of it as the basics of Viv’s and my approach to facilitation.

Friday’s is called Survival Skills for Facilitators. This one focuses on what to do when things go wrong. To be honest, I think the essence of facilitation is the ability to live the stage fright, the feeling of being an imposter, and keep going when things appear to be on the brink of going awry.

Each one is 145 Euros for companies, 95 Euros for independents. In a last minute change of plan, I’m actually going to join Viv on Friday. But don’t let that put you off!

Blurb here. And big thanks to our friend Raymond van Driel for hosting.
