Membership Information

When you’re an independent trainer or facilitator, it’s often hard to get a handle on what the market is doing. I mean, you know what your workload looks like, but how busy are other facilitators and what kind of work are they doing? How do your workshops and your facilitation style measure up against what else is on offer? Where is the gap in the market? What are people are charging? And is it really possible to earn a good income doing this stuff?

When I first started The Facilitators Network, it was all about giving facilitators a chance to connect, learn and grow together. I thought I’d be supporting facilitators to hone their facilitation craft. What I didn’t realise, is that the network would also support facilitators to grow their business.

When you spend time with other facilitators, you notice where you have room to grow. You get to test assumptions about what clients will pay, and you build your confidence around what’s possible. You get referred work from others because they’ve had a chance to get to know, like and trust you, and bottom line— you build your bottom line.

At its core, The Facilitators Network is still about supporting facilitators to be exceptional at their craft, but getting more work, more often, for more dollars is a happy side-effect!

“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.”

“Thought you’d like to know that I have put my prices up three times in the last 18 months and not a single client has pushed back. I would have never had the guts to do that without feeling confident that I know what I’m doing. That alone has made my membership worthwhile.”

The network is not just a place to learn and develop your craft; it’s also a place where you can grow your business and be encouraged by others on the same journey. 

Members of The Facilitators Network receive:

Invitations to free online meet-ups 2-3 times every month.
These meet-ups are mini online workshops where we take a look at specific topics related to facilitation or growing your facilitation business. Some of the meet-ups we have coming up include:

• Working Through Imposter Syndrome
• Navigating Sales Conversations
• Creating Engaging Online Sessions
• Caring for Ourselves During Slower Seasons
• Sharing our Facilitation Fails
• Discovering Your Unique Facilitation Superpower

“That meet-up was so good. Just what I was struggling with. But not anymore!”

Access to a Private Online Community full of resources, activity instructions and templates.
Our private online community is packed full of resources that will help make your workshops better, and you can access all of it for FREE.  This online platform is also an interactive hub where members can share ideas, ask questions, celebrate wins, and watch recordings of meet-ups they missed. Our community is very active, and members are quick to contribute when you need help.

“I haven’t been on here in a while, but now that I finally have some time, thought I would jump on and have a quick catchup. Well, there is no ‘quick’ about it! There is SOOO much gold on here, so many amazing ideas and great questions and thoughtful answers and useful information. What an incredible resource and generous community!”

Discounted rates on all workshops and bootcamps.
We run a range of both in-person and online workshops to help facilitators develop their skills. Members receive between 15-50% discount (with the occasional workshop being offered for FREE!) Members also hear about workshops before anyone else, so when spaces are limited, you get the first chance to register.

“Big thanks Kerri! I am so thankful for this workshop and The Facilitators Network. I’m blown away by how you facilitated our learning about facilitation, by using so many facilitation strategies – layer upon layer upon layer.”

Opportunities to gain referrals from other members.
We regularly receive enquiries from businesses or organisations looking for facilitators in their area, or facilitators who specialise in particular areas of work. We love joining the dots and connecting people to work they love! Where the brief might fit many of our members, we post job/gig opportunities in our online community for you to connect directly. Our members are also active in referring each other for possible work. The more you get involved in the community, the more easier it is for people to refer you.

“Still buzzing that I have found my niche and that members have referred work to me because they know what I do. It never dawned on me that other facilitators are my peers not my competitors. Aaaaah duh. How did I not realise that before?!”

The Facilitators Network is truly a place where facilitators can connect, learn and grow together. This is not an association that you join for the badge. This is a network you join for where it takes you and who you are journeying with.

Annual Membership Fee:
$997 +GST per year.

That works out around $20 a week, or just a fraction of one contracted workshop.

Plus, we're so confident you'll get enormous value from the network, that if you engage in the community, and after one year don’t think it’s worth it—we’ll give you your money back.
