Is it possible to recreate the magic of genuine human moments online?

You’re a facilitator, trainer or educator who used to run in-person learning experiences that created deep connections and transformations, but now you’re struggling to keep participants engaged online.

They are “zoomed out” and are unlikely to commit to another boring lecture.

The way we run workshops, trainings and events are changing rapidly. What worked at the beginning of the pandemic doesn’t work anymore. And with all in-person events and workshops being cancelled, you‘re now worried your business won’t survive without going online.

You know that to survive you will need to learn how to lead groups online, but …

  • … you get a “tech headache” thinking about sharing your screen, responding to answers in the chat, creating breakout rooms, playing music, etc… All without losing focus of looking at the camera and facilitating your content.
  • … you struggle to get your attendees to turn on their cameras, answer your questions and actively engage in activities?
  • … you are feeling like you’re driving with a blindfold because you can’t “read the room”, read non-verbal cues and get immediate feedback on how your activities are landing.
  • … you have a hard time convincing your customers and clients to even show up to your virtual events and are worried about your business.

It doesn’t have to be this way!

In this 6-week VIRTUAL FACILITATOR TRAINING, I will show you how to  engage 5-100 participants by creating genuine MAGICAL HUMAN MOMENTS at your next online gatherings.

Testimonials

“

This was the most engaging, fun, but super practical training on facilitation I've ever taken.

It completely changed how I facilitate and show up for my virtual offerings and since I took the course not only has my personal confidence skyrocketed, but the impact I've had on my participants has amplified in ways I didn't realize it could.

My participants are engaged, inspired, and show up ready to learn. I learned that I could incorporate play and fun to create super connected and invested participants, and I'm having so much more fun doing what I do now.

First and foremost I have been reenergized and inspired.

I have been facilitating workshops for 5 years and online heavily for the past 2 years. It was great to look at the experience though a new lens. I now do whatever I can to bring in the fun and create moments where people can learn about each other.

My Warm Ups and energizers are on point now and I feel even more confident and getting top feedback scores from my participants.

Thank you for an unforgettable experience! I really appreciate you creating an inclusive and supportive environment.

Every week I went in excited and left on a high.

If the pandemic hadn't forced me to change, I seriously doubt I would have ever tried virtual facilitation.

Now, I can't begin to list all the ways I've used the activities I've learned in my work.

Seriously, I never left a live session, replay, office hours or bonus material viewing without feeling stimulated to think of how I can do new things/audiences/services I had never thought of before.

If you want to REALLY "up your game" as a virtual facilitator, you NEED to take this training.

Seriously. Jan is absolutely amazing at what he does - structuring events where people feel welcomed and safe, inserting humor and laughter to put people at ease, creating activities that engage and inform, fostering real connection between ALL participants. He manages the tech and facilitates all of this seemlessly.

And he will show you HOW - break it down step by step, so YOU can lead amazing virtuals events, too. If you want to join the ranks as an industry leader in the area of virtual facilitation, take this training!

Jan is a great teacher who makes the trainings fun, but also super useful.

You'll get more comfortable with the tools of zoom and how to use them. You'll understand how to build intimacy by titrating vulnerability, and create a slow build that leads to deeper connection.

The course is a wonderful combination of both tech support and training coupled with emotionally intelligent facilitation skills.

PAMELA ENZ, MAOL, SSCCTrainer and Coach | Casting Vision
“

I recommend this training blindly! I feel a deep trust in how great Jan takes care of the people in the room, and that is for me, the most important!

It is is a well paced, complete, insightful training where you learn from experiences, experiments, from the trainer as a model for practices.

I looooved the visual supports, the inclusive way of the facilitation, the quality of presence of Jan, the care that was put in every single details of each session. SO much humanity, mastery and love in this training.

Hey, I'm Jan

If you’ve felt overwhelmed, anxious and not sure how to navigate this “new virtual world”… I get it.

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.

Don’t regret taking this unique opportunity to upgrade your facilitation skills.

I’m here to show you that what you think is impossible is 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 after Covid-19, 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.

SHOW ME HOW
Jan Keck 

Facilitator, Trainer & Experience Designer
Creator of ASK DEEP QUESTIONS

Imagine if you could...

  • Make your online workshops and meetings even more engaging than in person by using some of my tried-and-tested activities.
  • Make even your largest events feel small and intimate so that participants walk away feeling transformed, inspired, and part of a community.
  • Create fresh experiences unlike anything anyone has had online before, so you stand out from your competition that is still running boring webinars.
  • Fill your online events and workshops easily and effortlessly, all because of the raving testimonials (and referrals!) you receive.
  • Spend more time for your family, friends and the things that matter to you because you can work location independently.

I would love to help you get there!

Together we’ll take you from feeling overwhelmed about technology to running highly memorable and impactful online experiences.

Is this Training the right fit for me?

Right now, you might be thinking: “This sounds great, but I still don’t believe that it’s even possible to exactly 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 exact 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 would not be possible before.

Here is who I designed this training for:

The Virtual Facilitator Training is for anyone who creates participatory learning experiences for groups. 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

Community Builders

Event & Experience Designers

You don’t wanna miss this if:

  • You want to move away from lectures and slideshows where participants are passive consumers and get participants actively engaged in your content.
  • You translating an in-person workshop, course or program into an online experience and don’t know how to make it have the same impact
  • Your work depends on facilitating human connection and you find it harder or impossible to do this online.
  • You want to increase your confidence as a virtual facilitator leading groups of 5-100 participants on Zoom.
  • You want to tap into a new global audience of clients and customers by facilitating remote workshops and experiences.

I am committed to building a diverse community

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.

And this means, that I’m offering 3x pay-what-you-can spots.

Preference will be given to anyone in the black, indigenous, people of colour, LGBTQ2S+ and Trans communities, so if you identify as a part of one of these communities I highly encourage you to apply.

Jan's expertise on hosting virtual events has made major impacts on my virtual training delivery. My audience engagement is at 100% based on all of Jan's "secrets"!

ANNIE FRISOLISpeaker | Trainer | Founder & CEO of Creating Community LLC
“

Every little strategy that Jan teaches, I can go and apply immediately. I attend a lot of trainings and often it is just people lecturing you, modeling the way I don't want to teach, but you break everything down in little bite-sized chunks that help build community.

MICHELLE HOLDTArts Educator + Facilitator
“

I so appreciated all the various ways to ENGAGE. To keep my focus on the screen (it's so easy for me to wander off to my phone, the fridge, etc.) but when the zoom engages all of my senses, I stay present. Thank you so much for all the insights into how to keep people's attention. Super helpful, as ever!

GOT MORE QUESTIONS?

What day and time are the sessions happening?

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.

What do I need to participate?

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.

How will I access the content?

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 (We are actually experimenting with a brand-new platform that is designed for online learning communities called disco.co).

What is the difference between the Basic, Pro and The VIP Experience?

The VIP Experience includes more 1-on-1 access to Jan for a select group of 4 facilitators that want real-time feedback and testimonials of their activities. You can find all the details here.

What if I can't attend the whole series, show up late or have to leave early? Can I still join?

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 24 hours after the live event for you to watch at your convenience.

If you need to leave an event early, all I ask is that you exit the online space respectfully. To ensure the best possible experience for all attendees, there will be a five minute grace period at the beginning of each event to allow everybody to get settled in.

What is the Refund Policy? Is there a Guarantee?

Your ticket itself is non-refundable. However, if you would like to transfer your ticket to someone else, please email my team at [email protected] 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.

There are enough things to worry about and I don’t want this to be one of them.

Do you have discounts or scholarships available?

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.

Do you also offer a custom training for companies and organizations?

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 (not for The VIP Experience). If you want to attend with friends or colleagues, please contact my team at [email protected] for a group discount code or learn more about running a custom training for your organization.

Will you be offering this Training again?

Yes, I am hosting this training twice per year. Once in the spring and once in the fall.
