Who Will Benefit
Professional Facilitators and Consultants
Independent and small team facilitators seeking to expand their service offerings and increase the value of their online events
“Two things happen when you take this course. First, you gain an awareness for how terrible most online events are (including your own). Second, you learn what it actually takes to rise above the status quo through participatory methods.
Judy shares the knowledge and experience you need to run better, more humane events that bring people together and leave them better off.
Believe me, it makes worlds of difference.”

Finished my Course last week...
Lots of learnings, notes to digest and revisit and plenty of tweaks already made to the way I design and run my online events (mainly workshops). Resource rich, and designed to work through in very short bites. Thanks Judy and the Rees McCann team
