Facilitating events
All events should have a ‘learning’ component maximising the valuable time bringing people together. I can facilitate an event for you with speakers or offer learning sessions as an outside expert and presenter. I have also facilitated events end-to-end, being both master of ceremonies and speaker.

Field Technicians conference
Need: A two hour workshop where around 80 people can learn how to better have challenging conversations. Some individuals have been in the role a long time, some new. It needs to be very down-to-earth; these people work out on the farms and in rural areas.
How: I created an ‘event’. This involved short ‘sound bites’ of learning with simple how-tos so they could take away concrete actions. This was done through quick quizzes, group competitions, using experts in the room to share best practice and prizes. Through fun, energy and interaction, people learnt.
