In this course, AJ&Smart's CEO, Jonathan Courtney, shares his story about how he became a Workshopper, why becoming a Workshopper is the best thing you can do for your career in the current climate, and the brand new framework he created - when learned - can be used to create any workshop, for any scenario or company. This course is a great accompaniment to the Workshopper Playbook.

In this excerpt from AJ&Smart's Facilitation Fundamentals Program, you'll learn one of the key facilitation skills you need to master to become a great facilitator – active listening. Listening is not something that just happens (that is, hearing); it is an active process during which you make a conscious decision to understand what someone is telling you. During a workshop or session, don't interpret what others have to say. Listen to genuinely understand the participants' concerns and problems rather than thinking about your next response. There are two main ways of listening. Verbal listening, which is listening with words, and non-verbal listening, which is listening with your body. Facilitation Fundamentals is a comprehensive, deep-dive Facilitation training for those looking to master Facilitation "from the ground up." This training will take you through AJ&Smart's brand new 'Triple-T Method,' teaching you the Theory, Techniques, and Tools used by the world's best Facilitators, helping you become a well-equipped, confident, professional Facilitator in no time.
