Watch these quick videos for 20 warning signs for any facilitator.

I wish someone had told me about these when I started facilitating. I hope they help you.

I’d love to hear what ‘red flags’ do you look out for when you’re designing and facilitating

workshops. Let me know jacinta@jacintacubis.com.

Conversations About Facilitation (Series)

 

How do we blend face-to-face and online facilitation techniques to suit context and purpose?

Join me as I ‘riff’ with Rebecca Sutherns about how we get the best of both worlds.

We’re all learning together. I reckon if we approach this new working world with a little wonder and curiosity, we’ll be inspired, rather than overwhelmed.

 

Get Better at Noticing (Series)

 

Join Jacinta for her video shorts series on photo practise exercises to help you to get better at noticing and read the room.
