Hey There! Each time I find a critical conversation that is worth designing well, I try to make a conversation guide for it. There are links to Medium articles I've written about each that can help you use them, and the links to download the PDFs take you to my gumroad site, where you can download them for free, or pay whatever you wish


Free Course: Developing your facilitation style

Videos, self-guided exercises and 42 days of emails to help you understand what value you bring as a facilitator…and to increase the range and breadth of what you feel comfortable bringing into the room. The course uses the metaphor of “hats” to get you to visualize and clarify how you want to show up as a facilitator and leader.


Self-Paced Courses

Facilitating remote icebreakers and warmups that work

Dramatically expand your toolbox of icebreakers and warmups for virtual settings, and learn a new mindset of facilitation along the way.

What ice are you breaking? What are you warming up? How do you get groups into the mindsets and headspace you intend to? Beyond the basic icebreakers are eye-openers - activities designed to expand people’s minds. You’ll learn some of my favorites and watch them in action!

38 Videos and 19 PDF guides.
