You’re a facilitator, trainer or course creator who loves to bring groups together, but you’re struggling to keep participants engaged online.
It’s true: They are “zoomed out” and are unlikely to commit to another boring lecture or webinar.
The way we run online workshops, trainings and meetings has changed a lot in the last few years. What worked at the beginning of 2020 doesn’t work anymore today.
E.P.I.C. stands for a unique experience that includes these 4 elements
🙌
Learn how to use experiential learning techniques and unique activities that increase interactivity and participation.
❤️
Follow my Virtual Experience Design Framework to intentionally design moments of connection, learning and reflection.
🤝
Build psychological safety and trust with groups early to make sure EVERYONE’S voice matters and nobody feels left out.
🤗
Facilitate connection activities to turn strangers into a deeply connected community to increase retention, completion rates and results.
If you’re anything like me, then you know deep down, this is the work you were meant to do. You just need to figure out how to adapt.
For over 10 years, I have been designing and hosting experiences that build trust, empower people to share vulnerable stories and turn strangers into friends. My ASK DEEP QUESTIONS “Connection Cards” have helped turn over 80,000 shallow conversations into deep connections around the globe.
I used to believe that technology was one of the biggest barriers to creating human connection, but then 2020 happened… and I needed to adapt.
I started to experiment and tried everything from eye gazing exercises to running team building sessions, solving escape rooms and even attempting the world’s largest virtual group hug which has led to so many lessons, insights and even a completely new global audience and clients.
I’m here to show you that what you thought was impossible is actually possible. I can show you how to leverage technology to create highly engaging and unique online experiences that help groups connect, collaborate and co-create.
Online events and virtual workshops are not going to go away, and that’s a great thing!
They have provided so many opportunities. So let’s future-proof your business and continue to create transformations for your communities and build a new sustainable income stream with online workshops and events.
Together we’ll take you from feeling overwhelmed about technology to running highly memorable and impactful online experiences.
We will kick off with an engaging session where we’ll play a few games to get to know each other and set the tone for the rest of the training. Plus this is going to be a great chance to experience the content before you learn how it’s all done.
Start with the end in mind. We’ll build a strong foundation for virtual workshops that are more fun, engaging, and meaningful so participants leave sessions feeling transformed, inspired, and connected to a community.
Make your virtual experiences more inclusive, so EVERYONE can participate. Learn how to make your participants feel safe and supported so they can effectively collaborate, innovate, and solve problems.
Go deeper into the content from the training sessions, practice activities and have your burning questions answered in this 1-hour Q&A deep dive session.
Focus on the best tech tools to increase connection, collaboration and creativity. You’ll cut through the confusion, keep your participants engaged, and stand out from your competition.
For this session, we’ll be using the Butter.us app as meeting platform.
Increase opportunities for genuine deep connections among participants. Optimize your meetings by using the Breakout Room feature to its full potential.

Finally feel empowered to *do something* about those blank stares and tired eyes. Beat “Zoom Fatigue” by using strategies that make your experience unique, memorable, and moving.
Let’s spend some more time together to celebrate completing the Virtual Facilitator Training, plus I’ll be taking you through one of my favourite and most powerful goal-setting exercises, to make sure you will implement all the knowledge from the training.

FOR ORGANIZATIONS
If you want to train your managers, internal facilitators or team members, then get in touch about a custom cohort. In addition to the above, you can also get:
Right now, you might be thinking: “This sounds great, but I still don’t believe that it’s even possible to replicate my workshops and experiences without participants being able to touch or be in the same room!”
I get it. I used to assume the same thing. But what I learned is that when you attempt to exactly recreate your in-person events, then you’re already losing.
Instead, it’s about reimagining what is possible that was not possible before.
Here is who I designed this training for:
You understand the value of facilitating human connections and want to find a way to recreate the MAGIC of your in-person events online.
Facilitators & Trainers
Coaches & Consultants
Cohort-Based
Course Creators
Event & Experience Designers
I am working on making this training more accessible, inviting and inclusive for participants from all backgrounds. It’s important to me that this training is available to anyone who wants to learn, no matter their financial situation.
Preference will be given to anyone in the black, indigenous, people of colour, LGBTQ2S+ and Trans communities, so if you identify as belonging to one of these communities, I highly encourage you to apply.
Please review the dates mentioned on this page above (click here).
Once you are signed up you’ll get a calendar invite with the details for all the dates.
All you need is a computer with an internet connection, webcam and microphone to participate. A tablet works as well, but a laptop or desktop computer is preferred for a better experience.
Once you register, you will receive emails with instructions on how to attend the live workshops (on Zoom), log in to the private digital community and access additional learning materials on Mighty Networks.
The PREMIUM EXPERIENCE includes more 1-on-1 access to Jan for a select group of facilitators that want custom feedback, plus a Virtual Facilitation Guidebook and access to the Bonus Office Hours. You can find all the details here.
I understand that sometimes life happens and you won’t be able to attend every single event. If you’re not able to join us live, you can watch the replay that will be available for you to watch at your convenience, 24 hours after the live event.
If you need to leave an event early, or arrive late, all I ask is that you exit the online space respectfully.
95% of the content I am teaching applies to any meeting platform. If it’s Zoom, Google Meets, Microsoft Teams, Butter or any others that might pop up in the future. Zoom is my platform of choice, but sometimes you don’t have the choice, especially when working with government organizations and that’s why I make sure the lessons are relevant for everyone.
Your ticket itself is non-refundable. However, if you would like to transfer your ticket to someone else, please email my team at support@jankeck.com and let us know at least 72 hours prior to the first event. If you have questions or concerns before joining, please reach out and schedule a call with me.
If you show up for all sessions and office hours and at the end of the training you still didn’t receive value or learn anything new, we will get on a call so you can share your feedback and concerns and I will give you your money back.
I am offering 5x pay-what-you-can spots, as it’s important to me that this training is accessible to anyone who wants to learn, no matter their financial situation. Preference will be given to anyone in the black, indigenous, people of colour, LGBTQ2S+ and Trans communities.
I’ve been offering custom workshops for managers, facilitators and presenters at different companies and organizations and can create something that will address your needs.
There are also group discounts available for the Virtual Facilitator Training. If you want to attend with friends or colleagues, please contact my team at support@jankeck.com for a group discount code or learn more about running a custom training for your organization.
This will be the last time I am offering this training as a live cohort. Some of the content will be available as a self-guided course afterwards and I will focus my energy on creating my next big project.
