Before you go too much further, let's make one thing clear:
The Facilitators Network is not just another membership.
It's a place where trainers, facilitators and gatherers come to grow their skills and get more of the work they love.
It's for people who are serious about transforming their meetings and workshops, so they get more engagement, better results and more clients.
If that sounds like you, you can keep on reading...
I’ve been working as an independent facilitator for 20+ years and I remember how it felt in those early days. I knew I was a great facilitator, but I had no experience growing a business.
Things like what to charge and how to attract new clients were completely foreign to me. And because I had no-one to bounce ideas or ask advice, I was making it up as I went along.
Through sheer grit and determination, I eventually got there. I built—and sold—a successful facilitation business. I won a bunch of awards for my training and facilitation. I even got invited to speak on a cruise ship.
But looking back—it was a tough road, full of mistakes, and no-one to turn to for advice.
That’s why I started The Facilitators Network.
To make sure other trainers and facilitators had what I needed all those years ago.
A place to ask questions, share ideas, celebrate wins and get support.
And it's not just about growing a training or facilitation business.
It’s about becoming a stand-out facilitator, too.
When you join the network you get:
Access to Experienced Trainers and Facilitators who want to help.
The Facilitators Network is full of talented, generous facilitators from every stage of the facilitation journey. Some have been facilitating for decades, some are just starting out, and there’s a whole bunch who sit somewhere in-between.
When you post a question in our private platform, there’s always plenty of people who have been where you’re at and there is a genuine willingness to share ideas, experience and advice. You don’t just get Kerri as an online mentor, you get a team of peer-mentors available 24/7.
Live Sessions with Kerri every month.
Every month Kerri jumps online to host a Live ‘Ask Me Anything’ Session. You get to ask Kerri questions about anything related to facilitation or growing a facilitation business. Plus, the Ask Me Anything Sessions are recorded, so if you can’t make it live, you can watch the recording in your own time. Kerri is also really active in the private community platform, so you can ask her anything there too!
Ongoing Professional Development.
Each month we host 2-3 online meet-ups where we focus on a different aspect of facilitation or building a facilitation business. The meet-ups are like mini-workshops and are facilitated by different people, on different days, to suit different schedules. Plus, the meetups are all recorded, so you can dip in and out in your own time.
Searchable Resource and Activity Library.
Our online platform is stacked full of downloadable resources and activities that you can instantly use to grow your business and improve your sessions. There are printable cards, videos of activities in action, how-to instructions for 100’s of exercises, templates for growing your business and so much more. The library is being added to every week, so it just keeps getting better and better.
Job Alerts and Referrals.
Kerri is regularly approached by businesses and organisations looking for a facilitator (or facilitators) around a specific topic, or in a specific location. Where the request lines up with a just a few people, Kerri makes a personal e-introduction to help you get a foot in the door. Where the request might fit many of our network members, it is posted in our Job Alert board, so members can get in touch directly. Lots of our network members have got their first few clients through a network referral.
The Facilitators Network is the place to go if you want to level-up your facilitation and get more opportunities to do work you love.
Here’s what real network members have to say:
“Thank you SO much for posting about XXXXX looking for contract facilitators. I’m delighted to tell you that I’ll be starting to work on contract with XXXXX and the team in September when I facilitate a peer review meeting with one of his key clients. This just underlines the power of The Facilitators Network.” Patrick Brookman, The Fidelity Network
“There's so many things that make The Facilitator’s Network an incredible community. It is such a great place. Non-judgmental, incredibly welcoming, and you're going to learn things… Sometimes when you are an entrepreneur or solopreneur, you can be by yourself. Being part of a network gives you different connections with different people. You don't feel like you're so alone.” Kate Bacchus, HR Butter
“As a solopreneur, it's about being part of a tribe, making connections, learning about different ways of thinking about facilitation. I've found contracts through being part of this, as well as just being reminded and nurtured in what I do…
When I first decided to launch into the real world as a facilitator, being part of the network was massive. It gave me the confidence and access to tools and training. I've done quite a few of the courses as well, and it just really helped me to grow my business, to have more confidence in myself that I can do this. Without Kerri’s support and being part of this network, I'm positive I wouldn't have got where I am.”
Carolyn Smith, Woven Collaboration
