Hey everyone! I'm Maryam and I'm new here! I have extensive experience with facilitation in a conflict area in Nigeria. I'm looking to become a full-time facilitator and was wondering if experience is enough to carry my career through. Or, will I need to get IAF's Certified Professional Facilitator (CPF) certification to seem more legitimate? Thanks for your help!

Hello Facilitators👋 I'm really curious about where everyone is from. I'd love to make this a mega post where we can see how diverse the Facilitator Club community is. Who knows, you might find a lot more people in your area than you thought! Once I have lots of answers on this post, I want to make a nice graph!

Happy to join in! I'm an international facilitator focused on leadership development. Excited to be here!

Hi all, I am a new member here but have been reading from the side lines for a while now and love how supportive this community is! I am planning a future visions workshop for senior executives to help them envision the future, 5-10 years down, for their lines of business. This’ll be my first time facilitating a workshop with such senior folks so I’m looking for any advice/suggestions on: 1. Recommendation on Workshop Flow/Agenda/ Structure 2. Recommendation on exercises and 3. Tips/Tricks on leading a senior/executive audience  My initial thoughts on high level structure is as follows: - Future Market and Consumer Trend Presentation - Workshop: exercise to envision where they'd want their business lines to be in 5 and 10 years - Workshop: taking that vision and developing actionable steps today/ or maybe identifying problems to tackle Thank you in advance!

Hi, there. I'm conducting a mini session for young mentees. Any ideas for a fun ice breaker that helps boost confidence for these young women?
