Developing your business as an independent trainer or facilitator takes time, energy and deliberate action, but it’s often hard to know where your time and energy is best spent. So, instead of making clear deliberate progress, you get stuck doing a little bit of everything and wondering why nothing changes. There’s no denying you’re doing all-of-the-things, it’s just that none of them seem to push your business forward or create the growth you’re looking for.
That’s why I designed the Facilitation Business Lab.
It's a chance to get expert support in growing your business, and a step-by-step plan for putting all the pieces together. It kicks off with a 3.5 day retreat designing an action plan for YOUR business, and then you get 12 months of mentoring, community and support to help keep you on track.
The Facilitators Business Lab is not like other Build Your Business Programmes. It's been deliberately designed so you can take time to think about your business before diving in. It's 3.5 days of exploring what's possible for you and learning the steps to make it happen. Plus, you get to know a small group of others who will be taking the 12 month journey with you.
In the initial 3 ½ day experience, you will:
Get clear about what a great life looks like, so you can design a business to support that vision. Success looks different for different people, so what works for one person, might not work for you. You will get clear about the life you want to live and the business you want to lead, so that you can map a plan for your situation. Not all business advice is good advice for you.
Work out what’s getting in the way of growth, so you can tackle it head on. Your growth sticking points are often not what you think they are. Together we’ll explore what’s stopping your business from moving forward, and then we’ll create a plan to move through it. You’ll work out exactly where you need to put your focus, so you’re not wasting energy in the wrong place.
Spend time exploring different stages of growing a successful business, so you know what comes next. Getting unstuck is one thing, continuing to grow is a whole other ball game. You’ll get to see the exact steps I took in growing my business, what made the most impact, and how long it took. Learn where to put your focus at each step in the business journey.
Create a 12 Month and 90 Day Action Plan, so you have a road map for getting where you want to go. Once you’ve explored all the angles, you’ll get to create a practical plan that you can follow week-by-week, month-by-month. No more wondering what the next step is—it will be right there in black and white.
Once the initial retreat is complete, you'll have 12 months of regular group mentoring, live masterclasses and access to a private online platform where you can share progress and ask for feedback. As you work through your plan, you'll have a place to test ideas with others on the same journey, and you'll have some accountability partners to help you celebrate and keep you focussed.
This Business Lab is for experienced trainers, coaches and facilitators who already know their craft and want to take their business to the next level. It will be the best money you spend on business development this year.

What PeopleSay
“The facilitators’ retreat was everything I hoped for and more. I entered the week with a fuzzy picture of the ingredients needed to run a successful facilitation business but I couldn’t quite connect the dots and had little confidence in my ability to execute it. Mere hours into the first day and I’d had several aha! moments. I felt so genuinely supported by Kerri at every step. Even though we were all at different points of our journey, Kerri’s training met every one of us where we were at. Cannot recommend this week enough. It will change your life.”
Laura McAlpine
The Greenhouse
“Once in a lifetime experience. Kerri had us hooked and engaged from the moment we walked into the room. Thanks to Kerri’s deliberate generosity, she unlocked doors I never imagined I would walk through. I don’t think you can put a price on the value of Kerri’s retreat. I, for one, know that the insights and the space to think deeply and creatively were priceless. A thousand thank yous, Kerri!”
Tracey Soffee
Trace Consulting
“It has been said many times, but you have a gift for holding a safe space where we all felt that we could go below the surface and share. I loved that you started with a visioning exercise that enabled me to get really grounded on my priorities. From then on, decision making was easier and the pennies started to drop. I slowly felt myself unwind which opened the door to creative thinking and ambition.”
