Guiding principles...
1 training not as usual
There is no manual or set agenda, no boring presentations. We do provide notes, links, and references for you to follow up afterwards.
2 the invisible facilitator
We believe the participants are at the centre of the action, not the facilitator.
3 theory that matters
We don’t overwhelm you with theory and frameworks, but share our favourites and give you information on where to find out more
4 breaking the rules
There are a lot of unspoken rules around facilitation. We explore what happens if you break these rules.
5 being playful
We play, metaphorically and figuratively – with ideas and processes. We learn about, and from, being playful – even with serious topics.
6 learning together
Participants bring a wealth of knowledge and experiences. We give you time and ways to connect with, and learn from, each other
7 it's not about making it easy
We don’t save our participants, making their challenges easy. We dive in with them to explore the complexity and messiness.
8 being unhurried
Setting the right pace is the secret sauce of working in teams

Your host
Johnnie Moore has been facilitating around the world for over 20 years. He helps people connect and have the difficult conversations that make a difference. He’s the co-founder of Creative Facilitation and co-author of our 75 page book of the same name.
“Our training experience with Johnnie was a game changer. The team’s idea of what effective facilitation is, got turned on its head. We walked away from two very valuable days with tools and a perspective that has changed the way we approach meetings and facilitation workshops. This was the best training session we’ve had in a long time.”— Cheryl Ader-Dunne, Executive Director of Strategy, Leopard, Denver Colorado
Venue
I’ll be hosting this workshop is the Pavilion Room of Newnham College in Cambridge. It’s a wonderful room with lots of natural light, and the college itself has great atmosphere.
