Useful Resources
I'm all about making training design quicker, easier and less stressful, so here is a small selection of events, recordings, resources and courses that can help to do that.
This is just a tiny selection of what's available to VIP members, so if you like what you get here and want more, come and join us!
What's New?
We know the importance of building relationships and collaborating with like-minded people but it can be hard to find the right opportunities. The ones that have the right mix of relationship-building and focus.
That's what we aim to provide with our Connect & Collaborate event this December - a friendly, informal virtual session where learning professionals can come together, share ideas, and maybe be inspired or get unstuck.
Whether you arrive with something specific to solve or just want to connect with like-minded professionals, Connect & Collaborate is a great space to pause, reflect, share, and move your work forward.
NOTE: Because of the nature of the session, a full recording will not be made. So please only book to attend if you plan to join us live

DESIGN TRAINING IN 6 SIMPLE STEPS
Whether you're an experienced facilitator looking to formalise your skills, or perhaps you're adapting an existing event for a virtual audience, or entrusting others to deliver your programs, you will want to ensure that your training remains effective, engaging, and impactful.
MASTER YOUR TRAINING DESIGN
Good training design is a mixture of art and science, and MASTER brings these together perfectly. So if you want to design an engaging and impactful training session, but you haven’t got weeks to put it together, follow this process and you will be able to QUICKLY design a live training session that is high on engagement AND high on impact.
DESIGN A SESSION PLAN
A Session Plan is the most crucial thing to design for any live training event. Yet many facilitators fail to create one, feeling it's unnecessary. But putting in the work up front to design a proper session plan, reaps very many benefits later in the design AND delivery process.
