"Until I found Workshopper Master, I didn't believe I could turn facilitation into an independent business. When I saw the ad and took the training, I felt like I'd finally found my people."

Elizabeth DiCandilo

2024 Workshopper Master Graduate

This isn't "just another" facilitation course.

Workshopper Master is a comprehensive program to learn facilitation both as a skill and as a business, in two components:

SELF-PACED

Digital Course

You get lifetime access to Workshopper Master, a self-paced course that contains over 10 hours of high-quality video lessons.

The course teaches you our framework for facilitation and workshop design, and how to sell your facilitation services.

LIVE

Coaching & Community

You also get 6-month access to our private facilitation community, live coaching calls, and special events.

Our private community is the place where facilitators from all over the world can come together to ask for advice, share insights, or celebrate successes.

Weekly group coaching calls are hosted by facilitation and marketing experts who provide answers and advice on your biggest challenges.

Special events are hosted by exclusive guest coaches covering a broad range of special facilitation or business topics.

Who's this program for?

Employees who want to pivot into becoming a facilitator or coach. Experience not required! If you are passionate about workshops, this is the right program for you.

Independent coaches or consultants who struggle with finding clients. This program will not just level up your facilitation, but how to market your skills as well.

Small agency owners who want to charge clients based on value, not on cost and time. We will teach you how to get better results.

Hello,

My name is Jonathan, and I am the CEO of facilitator.com.

When I grew up, it was still normal that people worked for the same company for several decades, often even until retirement! It was also normal to have a pretty clear picture of what kind of work you would be doing 5 years in the future: The same job you were initially hired and trained for, except with more seniority.

I don't need to tell you that this has completely changed!

Job automation progresses relentlessly, and businesses are looking to cut labor costs and increase efficiency. More and more employees need 're-skilling', and job profiles change almost yearly. And, on the other hand, more and more people want to find purpose, fulfillment, and even excitement in their work.

The good news: With this uncertainty also come huge opportunities!

One of these opportunities: Becoming a facilitator. Facilitation skills can demand top money on the job market. We know this because we charge it. And we love to show others how to do the same!

By finding this program, you’re about to put yourself at a huge professional advantage and learn the facilitation system that’s taken us years to develop. It's the same system we use when we charge top rates to run workshops for the most successful businesses in the most mature markets in the world.

So, whether you’re thinking about becoming a facilitator, or already facilitating in your current role and want to up your game…
