I really enjoy and I appreciated
Thank you for this super helpful video. Miro is my personal fave, but I have been asked to look at using Office 365 going forward as we already have a license for this in our organisation. What are your views on tools available in Microsoft 365, such as Microsoft Whiteboard? Many thanks
fantastic video
Thanks Walter!
I thought of a question, when you mean an initial offering, is this related to what you mean tienes in another video about doing like a demonstration with a hypothetical scenario? Or are these different things?
An initial offering is literally just something that you are ready to sell. A small package, a workshop, a program of some kind. I think what you're thinking about is from a video I made about free-workshops - that's a different thing. 😊
@@brittniboweringworkshopsthank you so much for clarifying 🙌
I enjoyed this video so much… had a good laugh and learned tons! Specially the first point of have specific goals, it sounds obvious but today someone asked “when do you plan to do the transition” and it kept thinking that I actually don’t have a timeline, so great connection to all your insights, thanks for sharing 🙌🙌🙌
Absolutely! A timeline is great to have in mind. It really helps to put a tiny bit of pressure on so that you actually take your goals seriously!
Thanks Brittni, I'm stepping into freelancing. These are golden nuggets. Thanks for sharing.
So happy to hear you found it helpful! It's such an exciting time! Hope you're enjoying the journey so far 🤗
Great insights, Brittni! Your advice resonates strongly with what I tell my clients about growing their businesses. Consistent social media presence and strategic networking are indeed crucial, whether you're starting out or scaling up. It's all about being creative with your time, energy, and limited budget. Your tips on building genuine connections and leveraging your network are spot-on for anyone looking to market themselves effectively, regardless of their stage in business. Thanks for sharing these valuable strategies!
Thanks so much for this very helpful video, Brittni! ☺️ I was wondering what exactly your first offer was?
I put together a half-day workshop for companies to help them figure out their content marketing strategy! I sold it to about 4 clients within the first couple of months!
Thank you so much for sharing! That was so useful! Can you please share how you were able to sign those big name brands? What was your strategy?
I think this deserves its own video! I'm on it 😊
I'm just starting out for myself and have been lucky to be able to reduce my employee work to ease the financial pressure. I'm curious to see when/if I will make a full transition to freelance...
Nothing wrong with a slow transition! I think that's a much smarter (and less stressful) way to approach it! 😁
Great video as always Brittni!!
Thanks so much Heath!
So cool to see you again with your own yt channel! 🎉 Know you since AJ&Smart and learned so much of you 🤩 And great that you still have that energy and positive craziness in you, that makes it so much fun to listen to you 😃 Hope to see more videos more regularly and that this wasnt the last one 😅
Thanks so much! Just took a little summer break. Will be back with more videos very soon!! 😁
Nice video! Thanks for the tips. Could you please film for us a real icebreaker, i mean how you act in a real one? We need some tips on ground
This is a tough one because often I can't film when I'm with a client. But I've noted this down and will do my very best to try and get some footage soon! Thanks for letting me know what you'd like to see 😁 I really appreciate it!!
Thank you for your efforts ♥️
Love these tips! Thanks for addressing these Brittni!
I just found your channel. Thanks for sharing.
I think the 4th level of hell is corporate ice breakers.
Doesn't Butter already agendas built in? Questioning the need for session lab...
Awesome video!
@@viktorbezic I do love Butter's agenda builder, but I find Sessionlab really great because of some of its features - it's just a more robust planning tool because that's all it does. For instance Sessionlab is awesome for its ability to create multiple tracks, multi-day agendas, labels, etc!
I'm a big fan of This or That. It always gets the discussion and the laughs going. Thanks for sharing this list.
It does! And as an added benefit it gets people talking to each other. 😄
Cool content. Would love to see more
Hi Brittni! I'm Vasylyna. I wanted to contact you with a collaboration opportunity that aligns perfectly with your RUclips channel. What email can I write to you?
You are doing such a great job here! I would be very interested in how you end workshops. Sometimes it feels like everyone is a little tired or even overwhelmed by all the information at the end of a long workshop day.
Thank you so much for saying that :) That's a really good idea - I could absolutely make a video on how I end different types of sessions! Thanks for the tip 😁
I am surprised you didn’t mention Figjam - since it costs way less and has similar features as Miro. I use Figjam for everything; building slides and presenting them, prepping the workshop and sharing the board to collaborate. It has nice timer functions and background music 😄
Nice!! I'm working with a lot of corporate clients and often they have specific firewalls for EVERYTHING 😭 But I will check out Figjam, because you aren't the first person to recommend it! Thank you!
Thank you for the great ideas! I certainly will try the "in Person this or that" in my upcoming workshop with a larger group 🤩 ...And: I also LOVE the rock, paper, scissors tournament. This is SO MUCH fun 😂🤭
It is the actual best. Nothing gets everyone laughing like the rock paper scissors tournament!!
Yes 👏🏻
Yes, asking follow up questions to slow down-- love it !
Good insights there. It can feel like as leader you need to direct everything. Control everything. Like everything is on you. But that's but inefficient, unrealistic, and counter productive. A good leader provides unified vision and direction. Delegated responsibility. Facilitates communication. Your job isn't to crack the whip. If things only happen when you MAKE it happen, you've already lost. You have to get people behind your vision you can trust, and then empower them to enact your vision.
People need to know they are there to do the job,if they can follow simple instructions then they are useless.
Look, i know this may come across as somewhat inflammatory, for which i apologize, but If that's where you are as a leader you've already lost. Or you're leading an effort so trivial it barely qualifies a "leadership". It's just "supervising". Instructing people on what to do isn't "leadership". A leader sets direction and delegates responsibility. If you have people who can't be trusted with that responsability...well, that's on you. Find better people. Or find a better way to deal with the situation. If you're dealing with any moderately complicated endeavor and you have to personally direct how everything is to be done, you've lost before you've even begun.
@riplikash when they applied for a job they knew what it was to be expected of them,they play the victim card they can go back where they came from ,stop wasting people's time ,grown up are not kids ,it's not motivation they need it's discipline

@AlMi-tu7cl again, no offense intended, but it's like you didn't actually read anything said. That whole post was based on the assumption that they're adults and not kids, that people can and will self motivate, and that a good leader therefore focuses on direction and organizing, trusting others to self direct, rather than giving explicit instructions. I would argue instead that your whole argument IS about treating people as children. In my experience motivating people really isn't very hard. Treating them as competent adults, giving them responsibility and trust, and paying them decently is generally more than enough. It's DEMOTIVATING people that you have to watch out for. And that almost always comes from bad leadership: poor organization, poor communication, poor direction, creating a culture of assigning blame, micromanaging, babysitting, not sharing rewards, not providing growth opportunity, not extending trust, etc. all does a great job of making productive, motivated partners into unmotivated serfs who don't see any point in trying. Sorry, but the whole attitude you're projecting is something I've seen destroy teams and departments time and again. It's a self fulfilling prophecy. Like his someone who is always paranoid about being cheated on and suspecting/accusing their partner of infidelity ends up always BEING cheated on. I mean, seriously, "it's not motivation people need, it's discipline?" You talk about needing people to be be adults not children. But then you describe literally treating them as children. You don't get to "discipline" adults in any meaningful way. That's not how business or the adult world works. Literally the ONLY power you have is the power to motivate, either with money or opportunity. The only "discipline" you can meaningfully apply is giving them less motivation to do things for you i.e. paying less (which is all firing really is) This is a childish mentality on working with adults.
@riplikash open a business and hire people like that see how far you get.
Thank you for sharing Britt! I had a lot of fun watching your video. 🤗
I'm so glad! That's the whole point 😁
"Sweating profusely infront of everybody..." - I feel seen.
Haha… was I thinking of you? Maybe.
These are great tips! It's so important to remember that deviating from your pre-planned agenda WILL happen to some extent. I always have to remind myself of that- nothing worst than a facilitator who is really stressed by their own agenda/timings. No one knows how ambitious your agenda is other than you... so relax! That was me giving myself a pep talk 😅
Well done!!! Yes, that’s so true. I love that line- no one knows how ambitious your agenda is other than you! 🙌
Your face after you gave yourself a pep talk 😂❤ Ah, Brittni. Do you fit in a Smile File?
Hahaha!!! That’s the sweetest thing I’ve heard all week 😄
Great tips Brittni! Could have used this very video last week for our first talk. 😅
I'm sure you guys smashed it!!
So brilliant. Thank you Brittni.
So glad you liked it! Thanks for watching 😄
Loved the setting expectations!!!
It's soooo important and not just with workshops! I feel like we can all benefit from setting better expectations in so many parts of our work lives 😅
Love your videos Brit! Thanks!!
Thanks Kar!! So fun to see you over here!🤗
Ugh, reading the room is such an underrated skill! So glad you brought it up
I agree! It’s helped me in so many aspects of my career (and life!) 😅
Great video, as always - do you have insights on how to be a great online facilitator? The classics: video on, engage them, how to manage awkward silence, etc.
Such a good suggestion! I’ll do a video on this soon! 😄
Hear Hear 🔥 When are we going on an adventure Brittni? Can't wait!
Briliant!
This was such a helpful video! Thank you!
I'm so happy to hear that!! 🤗
Brilliant video Britt! Step 5 is gold, and only the pro's dive into Story elements like this.
Thanks Calum!!
Your content is amazing 🤩always helping me to improve my workshops 🔥
oh gosh that's so wonderful to hear! 😁
Thanks for the killer content. As an independent facilitator, I absolutely love how actionable and relevant your content is! Keep it up.
Love hearing that!! Thanks for watching :)
Just love your work and the inspirational magic that you are spreading! 🤩
Thank you so much for saying that! 😊
Great shirt!
Amazing videos! I’m going through all of them and so happy you’re putting time in this because it’s GOLD! So thank you, thank you ⭐️✨ This one specifically actually has lots of in-between the line lessons about the pre/during/post sessions and it was so useful. Need to get working on a slide deck template for follow up! Such a good way to close off on a high note 🎉
Thanks so much for this nice feedback!! Happy you're enjoying the videos. There are many more to come! 😄
Step 5 was the secret Brittni sauce. Love it, thanks 🤩
Secret Brittni Sauce!!! 😂 Thanks Philip!
Awesome as always! 🎉
Thank you Nast! 😁
I love it. Sometimes, depending on the complexity of the workshop, when asking the rules, I ask them if they want to add something. Sometimes there are things that I am not seeing but since they are probably a group and some of them know each other, they help me to prevent issues🫶🏻
ooooo I love this a lot!! I'm going to do that next time!
Ohh very good thinking to include Step 5 here!! Thanks for the silly AND solid advice :)
Silly and solid! I really enjoy that description 😄
