šµĀ Feeling disoriented by the number of unstructured remote meetings piled on your calendar?
š«Ā Does collaboration feel like a slog of miscommunication and frenzy?
š°Ā Do you get frazzled when things go off script, and struggle to steward group conversation toward outcomes?
Facilitation can help you cut through the noise to find the signal.
What students say
Alix's framework for facilitation turned "Meetings" into manageable components that I actually felt I had agency over ā and could think about addressing in systematic ways.
Sharpen your system for managing remote meetings.
šĀ Videos & exercises to develop your technique, take action, and get feedback.
ā°Ā The course takes 1.5-2 hours and is best spread over at least 2 weeks.
I have been facilitating remote meetings for 10 years across sectors.
I use the same system, day after day, to design the right meeting for different groups working to achieve specific outcomes.
No conversation is predictable, and few personality mixes are perfect. I have a system that helps me adapt based on what emerges in a group, and support groups to make the most of each other to move important work forward.
No more wasting time, arranging meetings to cover a pile of dysfunction. No more fixating on a minute-by-minute agenda secretly nervous that things might go off script. No more stacking your calendar in the hopes that time together will get you somewhere.
Facilitation Foundations is my approach to facilitation distilled into a short course of videos and exercises.
āØĀ I built this course to work for you. You can make progress at your own pace and participate whenever suits your schedule. The course is hosted on a community platform so you can be in conversation with peers as you try new things and put your learning into practice.
š¤Ā All I require of you is that you take action on what youāre learning and are open to sharing with and learning from others. If youāre up for that, then youāre in.
This course is right for you if:
āļø You see facilitation as a lever you can pull, but you're unsure how
āļø You have spottedĀ remote meeting & team dynamics and want to grow your skills to navigate them
āļø You want to take action now with a community of likeminded peers
By the end of this short course you'll learn:
1ļøā£ How to design effective meetings that are people-centered and outcome-oriented
2ļøā£ How to manage remote space to generate energy and build alignment
3ļøā£ How to manage your mind to stay calm and in control
šĀ Videos & exercises to develop your technique, take action, and get feedback.
ā°Ā The course takes 1.5-2 hours and is best spread over at least 2 weeks.
Facilitation Foundations includes ā¤µļø

What people say about working with me
š§āš»Ā I was really starting to feel some of the challenging aspects of remote work and remote meetings. Building momentum, getting traction, navigating big questions and reaching a decision -- but then somehow seeming to end back right where we started. Alix helped identify and analyze what exactly wasn't working and why, and had immediate, tangible ideas to try. Alix's framework for facilitation turned "Meetings" into manageable components that I actually felt I had agency over -- and could think about addressing in systematic ways. The other aspect that I found really valuable was a cohort of peers facing similar challenges and to be able to discuss openly about it together.
š§āšØĀ I joined the course because I wanted to gain legitimacy as a facilitator, which is a role I have been organically playing for a few years. I honestly didnāt expect how big an impact the course would have on me. Thereās something that has shifted in the way I hold the space and allow myself to not overthink and itās really thanks to your guidance, the material, the coaching, the sharingā¦ and it extends beyond facilitation. What a wonderful experience. Thank you again for letting me be a part of it!
š§Ā Working with Alix has transformed the way I feel about initiating complex meetings. She has time and again demonstrated her capacity to curate thoughtful agendas, build trust among participants and manage complex interests, and funnel them into actionable, united outcomes. Alix is flexible and creative while facilitating, always ensures participants feel safe, respected and heard, and is an expert at surfacing tensions that need to be addressed. She is patient yet outcome-driven. Alix has eliminated the stress I used to feel organising meetings with complicated elements.
