Working alone isn't the problem. Facilitating alone is. ๐ŸŽ™๏ธ


Hey #FaciliFam,

You're a solopreneur or work remotely most of the time?

No team to bounce ideas off. No one to celebrate with. And at some point the silence stops feeling like freedom.

Remote work solved the commute, the chaos, the interruptions. But you can still go an entire day without hearing another human voice.

Here are 3 quick and free ways to get people back around you, no pants required.


๐Ÿ”Š The Office Simulator

A while back I built an Office Simulator for exactly this reason.

It puts office noise back in the room: chatter, keyboards, a printer somewhere behind you. Free, no login, works in any browser.

For people who miss the office, but have zero interest in going back to it. Basically the productivity version of rain sounds and ocean waves, minus the "close your eyes and relax." ๐Ÿ˜


๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿฝโ€๐Ÿ’ป Body Doubling

Real humans this time, not just background noise. I'm running free, virtual body doubling.

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿฝ Two hours on Zoom
๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿฝ Three 25-minute sprints, Pomodoro style
๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿฝ Camera on, your own agenda
๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿฝ Bring the task you've been avoiding

You show up, get stuff done, share your wins.

We usually leave time at the end for coffee chat and networking. It's a different kind of focus than when you're truly solo.

If you've never tried body doubling, this is the low-stakes way in.


๐ŸŒ Fit For Facilitation

Want to connect with more than just a few coworking buddies? How about 1,500 facilitators, L&D pros, and coaches worldwide? ๐Ÿ‘€

That's the Fit For Facilitation Community - a free space we started for exactly this: Live meetups. People sharing what they're building. A place to ask questions without the noise. It's where the #FaciliFam hangs out. ๐Ÿ˜Ž

That covers the hours around your sessions. Now the actual session, where you're solo and the room is watching.


๐Ÿš€ The Masterclass

Spending the first five minutes scrambling across tabs and windows, praying nothing breaks? Not on my watch. You hit one button, the scene changes, your camera looks credible. You notice what's happening in the room instead of fighting the tech.

My Virtual Facilitation Masterclass is four live sessions. We build your full setup: OBS, Stream Deck, camera, lighting, audio. All live, on your machine. Not theory. Not slides. Small group.

Including a bonus 1:1 with me where we fix whatever's still bugging you.

You walk in running stock Zoom. You leave with a setup that works.


๐Ÿ—“๏ธ More Upcoming Events

OBS Starter, Stream Deck Starter, Luma for Facilitators, the Miro Games Masterclass, and more - all this month.

Now running earlier in the day, since that's what you asked for. Smaller trainings on different topics, with more on the way.

Got a session you'd love to see? Hit reply and tell me.

Hey #FaciliFam, Let me take a wild guess. Your LinkedIn feed sucks. ๐Ÿ˜ Generic posts from people you don't know, half of it AI-written. The people you actually want to hear from? A few posts if you're lucky. Sound familiar? ๐Ÿ‘€ LinkedIn isn't just entertainment (he said, posting 7 memes a week). It's where your clients post before they hire you, where past participants share what they built, and where the facilitators you learn from share their good stuff. Miss that and you miss work. So stop...

Hey #FaciliFam, You've probably noticed I went quiet for a while. Longer than I'd like to admit. I'm not going to spend this whole issue explaining where I've been - just know I'm back, and I've got things for you this week. ๐Ÿค“ Let's start with something good. No tool breakdown today. Just a list I've been meaning to send you. ๐ŸŽ™๏ธ My 10 Top Voices I don't listen to a lot of podcasts. But when I do, most of them are made by people I actually know - fellow facilitators, L&D folks, community...

Hey FaciliFam, Do you feel invisible when facilitating online? Like a small face in a box? ๐Ÿ‘€ Not a philosophical question. I mean literally. If you: - Scramble for buttons mid-sentence while trying to hold eye contact. - Run sessions that feel generic - no visual identity, just another Zoom call. - Charge less than you are worth because your on-screen presence hides your value. This is not a content problem. It is a production problem. The Difference In Practice You shouldn't rely on content...
