"After attending Virtual Facilitation, I reflect on how much time I spend talking and sharing information, and consider how much of the heavy lifting and thinking participants will take on in the sessions I'm planning to facilitate. Additionally, I've been intentional about creating space to pause, reflect, and process as a check-in with the body as they interact with the content. Becky reminded me to release perfection and bring my authentic self into my training spaces. Her modeling allowed me to experience the power of pausing and reflecting in real time instead of waiting until after the training. The breaks helped me reset in real time, which has made a noticeable difference in how I plan my training sessions."

Christine S.

Director of Training and Support

"A perfect blend of sharing best practice strategies for conducting PD online and modeling them at the same time. You will walk away with big pieces to implement in your PD sessions, but also those small tips that really make a PD sing."

Jim H.

Student Manager

"This session made me reflect on my role as a designer and on how participants should feel during PD experiences. It reminded me that effective PD isn’t just about the content. It is about creating the environment where participants feel engaged, supported, and inspired to apply what they learn."

Alex T.

Manager of Professional Development Design

"This workshop has sparked a huge shift in how I think about planning PD to prioritizing core human needs. Becky (the facilitator) talks the talk and walks the walk. Everything she shared and modeled was so helpful."

Ethan R.

Professional Learning Developer

"This workshop really helped me to figure out where to fine-tune certain sections of PD I offer to make sure that content isn't lost while also providing learners with a positive learning environment."

Lorena R.

"I really enjoyed this workshop! Becky did a great job modeling some of the tenets of effective virtual PD throughout the session while also encouraging us to reflect on how to use those tenets in our own PD spaces."

Sadie S.

"There were so many practical tools shared - but also balanced with the theoretical framework around adult learning. I appreciated the modeling throughout and feel better equipped to train in a virtual space."

Kathleen L.

"Learning more about Core Human Needs and how to think critically about them as a designer and facilitator of PD was helpful to me. I have already planned to incorporate them into my planning and delivery."

Linzi G.

"As a PD facilitator myself, I rarely get time to reflect on my own craft since I'm usually the one supporting others in their own professional growth. This workshop allowed me to connect with others who do similar work and to really pause and think about what I bring into the sessions I facilitate."

Mindy W.

"The workshop was really well facilitated and was flawless in terms of Zoom logistics. The four hours of content in the session flew by. I felt a true sense of belonging in my two different breakouts, which is a testament to the community that Bright Morning built throughout the entire session."

Aixle R.

"This workshop helped me see the importance of putting more energy into prework and setting a clear agenda, while always grounding in the “why” behind what we are teaching or showing. I also learned to let go of control and embrace that participants may only take away one new insight, and that is not only fine but valuable. Others should attend because it offers powerful reminders and practices that shift how you approach learning and facilitation."

Anthony C.

"Anyone who is looking to hone their skills as a facilitator (virtual or otherwise) would benefit from being in community for this professional learning offering. You will walk away with multiple ways to think about and improve your practice."

Shawnté H.

"The workshop really helped me rethink how we design our PD sessions and gave me a bunch of new ideas and strategies to apply. I also learned some things that challenged how I've been doing PD work up until this point, which made me feel excited about going in new directions. The facilitator and resources shared were also top-notch."

Melissa M.

"As a relatively inexperienced virtual PD facilitator, this workshop gave me the confidence to move forward. I feel like I have a much clearer roadmap of where I want to go, and access to tools when things go awry, as they certainly will. Much less trepidation about the journey I'm about to undertake."
