Facilitation Masterclass
Harnessing the collective intelligence of teams and organisations has never been more critical.
Our workplaces and communities are more diverse than ever before, yet people are increasingly isolated. Our digital world creates degrees of separation. The complexity of the issues we face today requires harnessing our diverse skills and capabilities as one.
Facilitation is becoming a core leadership competency.
In a one-of-a-kind masterclass this December, you will be equipped with the skills to enable disparate groups to find unity of purpose, motivation and connection. Drawing on over 30 years of facilitation, Andrew will cover essential tips and tricks that effectively enable groups to produce great results.
- Space: Creating an environment and your own state for optimum engagement.
- Ground Rules: How to set parameters that enable rather than constrain participants.
- Doing and Being: Utilising The Weave model to match a shared vision with practical actions and outcomes.
- Creative Tension: Developing traction from friction, allowing difference.
- Elegant Interruption: Building the wisdom to direct participants with respect.
This exclusive masterclass will build your facilitation skills, teach you to identify where and how to facilitate (rather than chair, lead or manage), and develop your capacity to ‘find the gold’ in participant contribution.
Join us for what is set to be a highly valuable session.

Story Mojo Workshop
Stories are the original learning tool of all human beings, long predating written communication. Research shows our brains and our entire systems are hardwired to deeply respond to stories. To be effective in sharing information, stories are the key.
We all have unique storytelling styles, some are loud and enthusiastic, others quiet and engaging. The key is being true to your own nature. Andrew’s interactive Story Mojo Workshop covers three elements fundamental to effective storytelling:
- Intention: You will be able to clearly articulate your intention, through an investigation canvassing why you want to tell a story, and how does your story align with you and your organisation’s values, vision and purpose.
- Story Structure: You will be introduced to the story arc structure, for crafting your life story. You will be supported to map your personal and professional journeys, drawing your life experience into a structure that articulates your leadership. This structure will enable you to develop an authentic leadership style and tone, establishing frameworks for communication that builds trust, inspires, and stimulates action.
- Story Technique: You will learn and practice a series of techniques used by great orators, film makers, writers and media content producers. These techniques are applied to verbal and written communication for use in presentations, keynote addresses, conference and seminar settings, board meetings and team meetings.
