I loved this workshop! I feel much more confident to facilitate large online workshops and meetings in the knowledge I have the tools to design brilliant, engaging, and inclusive sessions. Great value for money!
Who’s leading the training?
I’m Julia Slay, a freelance consultant and facilitator with over 15 years’ experience working as a coach, facilitator and trainer.
I have facilitated over a thousand workshops, ranging from away days and team development sessions to multi-day strategy retreats and international convenings.
I love what I do. I’ve learnt from some of the best facilitators around, and I maintain my own skills by regularly taking part in training to deepen my practice.
Before turning my hand to facilitation I worked in senior roles in the charity and government sectors, leading policy and research work.
See my LinkedIn profile for more info and follow me for facilitation tips, updates and reflections.
I’m Perle Laouenan-Catchpole, a freelance facilitator and consultant specialising in designing and delivering online workshops for large, international groups.
I thrive on connecting 100s of people across borders to tackle the topics that matter. I work with a wide range of organisations internationally (Corporations, NGOs, Scale-ups, and Communities) allowing me to cross-pollinate and intentionally design rich and meaningful participatory processes within multi-stakeholder and cultural environments.
I am also the founder of NeedWorkshops, a collective of specialists and experts. We combine our unique talents to deliver workshops that build connections across borders.
I have learnt so much from Julia – not only through her endless toolbox of facilitation approaches, but above all, her calm presence, unshakable composure and good humoured warmth. Julia is truly an expert in creating inclusive, trusting and engaging environments, ensuring diverse perspectives are heard and has mastered the difficult skill of flexing rapidly to client need.
