“The FAClab workshop is sensational, I recommend it to anyone looking for an interactive environment to play, learn, practice and experiment. Joel has a wealth of knowledge with a compassionate and curious approach to teaching. Organise for him to come in and connect with you, your team, the organisation you work with.
Get ready to be inspired! ”
“I’d heard Joel’s name a few times before I got to meet him in person for the Icebreaker and Art of Questioning workshops. Mentions of his name were always met with comments like, “Joel has been a key influence in my journey as a facilitator” so safe to say I was looking forward to meeting him!
From the moment I walked into the first workshop, his calm and grounded presence created safety which allowed me to really step out of my comfort zone throughout the day. The set up of the day as a ‘lab’, a place to experiment and to receive encouraging feedback has given me much more confidence and trust in my abilities as a facilitator. It was also a huge bonus getting to experience this day with our whole team and seeing the growth and connection as a group. Joel deeply embodies the work he teaches and his lessons go beyond just his content. Witnessing how he facilitated our group also was a lesson in itself.
I love workshops that offer practical takeaway and there have been many from the Being Human workshops so I look forward to getting to work with Joel again in the future! ”
“I recently had the pleasure of meeting Joel and attending two of his Facilitation Labs. While I had already heard many great reflections on Joel’s teaching, I was so impressed and humbled by Joel’s humility, leadership, and kindness. It was a true privilege to be facilitated by Joel and to spend the day learning from his experiences. I feel incredibly grateful for Joel’s guidance and excited to know that these labs have prepared me to be a wiser and more empathetic facilitator in the future.”
