About This Podcast

How do you create workshops and courses that people really want to attend, where they're highly engaged and actually learn something? The answer is through facilitation. Facilitators exist wherever learning happens. And great facilitation involves getting clear on what you're doing with your groups, why you're doing it, and how to do it with purpose and intention. Tap into this podcast, "Facilitating on Purpose", as your go-to resource to becoming and being a better facilitator, wherever you work. Join facilitator and learning designer Beth Cougler Blom and her guests to explore ideas about designing and facilitating learning. You'll gain insights such as how to plan more effectively, build connection with participants, and include meaningful activities. Level up your facilitation skills at http://facilitatingonpurpose.ca/.
