Everyone's a Teacher
For organisations who want their team meetings, workshops, facilitated training sessions to be genuinely engaging and impactful.
To teach is to be human. Whether you’re helping your child tie shoelaces, your gran with her new phone, or a boardroom of executives online or face to face: if you have knowledge or skills that someone else doesn’t, and you want to help them learn, you are a teacher. Knowledge and skills transfer is part of everyone's everyday jobs - we can't escape it! What type of learning culture are you building in your organisation? One where team members feel dumb, bored, or thoroughly confused? or a learning culture that invites discussion, collaboration and high impact results? This workshop demonstrates practical, time proven tips, tricks and strategies to ensure teaching and learning in any context is effective, memorable and immediately applicable. I don't teach this by telling you what to do, either. I demonstrate each strategy live, so you're sitting in the learner chair experiencing it exactly as your own audience would. Then we pull it apart together: what worked (or didn’t work), why, and how you can adapt it to work best in your own meetings and workshops. And this is recurring feedback I get every time I deliver this session. Not "great session, thanks Maria", but actual, specific shifts. Sessions rebuilt from the ground up. People telling me afterwards they had "aha moments" about their own delivery they hadn't seen before, even after years of doing this. Here are some recent testimonials: She didn’t just help me fix a workshop. She changed how I think about facilitation permanently." Alfred Chidembo "You are a gifted teacher, Maria Doyle infuse all your learning experiences with so much fun, it’s legendary." Tara Saxon "Maria walks the talk, and made this workshop a place to laugh and learn, while packing in lots of ideas and techniques that I can’t wait to put into practice." Anne Rayner "I learnt so much from you (as well as the rest of the group!) last week, Maria. Such a playful and invigorating workshop with so many “aha” moments of self-reflection. You’re unreal." Jack Starkey-Gill "Maria’s workshop seriously exceeded my expectations! I came looking to learn how to incorporate more audience participation and engagement in my own presentations and Maria’s workshop was a master class in exactly what to do! Best money I’ve spent on professional development in a very long time. Would happily recommend!" Jason Blyth "This was such a well spent morning! Maria you passed your energy, experience and knowledge onto us in such a fun and memorable way. Thank you." Petra Williams
I help organisations build a genuine learning culture; transforming how everyone thinks about teaching and learning so people communicate better, collaborate more, and work more efficiently as a team.
