Dynamic Groups, Dynamic Learning Courses

Shannon’s Great Feedback and Successes

We’re repeating Shannon’s great feedback and story as we made a typo of her name a couple of Blogs and eNewsletters ago. Sorry Shannon. Love your work amazing women. “Robin’s Dynamic Groups Creative Facilitation course has inspired and energised me to deliver even better training and professional development for the Aquatic industry.   I present courses and professional development have always done things a bit “differently” for example cross crawling and playing my ukulele. The creative processes we learned throughout the course have grown my toolbox exponentially!

Challenge Yourself as a Facilitator or Teacher

How often do you take time to review and renew your course design, your session plan that you work from to present regularly, your meeting agenda design or your event program? Do you tend to repeat the same session over and over or use similar processes to deliver the content you’re working with?

Do you get bored with what you offer to your groups? Are you tired of doing things the same way? Do your participants seem bored or disengaged? Or are your groups, meetings, events and sessions fun and exciting, receiving great feedback and motivating participants to thrive and shine. Do you complete and celebrate a job well …
