Hey everyone! Next Tuesday, the 1st of October I will be announcing a LOT of very exciting things at a live, virtual event, and I'd love you to be there! You can register here. Here's what to expect: - The future of facilitation, and where I see it going as a profession in the next 5-10 years - A new, clear and ambitious vision for solving collaboration issues in the workplace (and how you can play a part in this!) - Our new facilitation training system that we've been testing and perfecting for the last 4 years - LOTS LOTS MORE! This is going to create a lot of noise in the Facilitation space, and this is the first place to get all the info before we start more publicly announcing everything during October. The event will last approx 2 hours. There will be no recording of this event, so if you wanna join in on the fun next week - make sure you register here: https://go.ajsmart.com/ajs-0110 See you there! Jonathan

As some of you know, I headed back to Vietnam in March for a few months. One of my projects was to bring in a master trainer for LSP to train some educators/facilitators locally in the method as it is so impactful. As I was beginning to ramp up the local promotion/introductory sessions, my local partner dropped out (I found another one), and I was nudged to become certified as a trainer myself as I have some experience in using it. So, I did. In early June I co-ran three cohorts of training and certification in Vietnam. Had great time with some amazing facilitators (these are among the top in Vietnam). Now I'm planning training here in Vancouver as well as back in Vietnam. It is a great tool for facilitators to have in their tool kit Video below showing a bit of this in action. If anyone would like to organize/host training in their location and can get at least three or four others for the training as well, reach out to me and let's talk. https://youtu.be/Ny8GFt0ilH8
