Kirsty shares her personal journey from leaving the corporate world in 2008 to the establishment of School of Facilitation in 2014.

This solo episode looks at personal and professional challenges, growth, and the birth of her business idea. It's a story of resilience, self-discovery, and the evolution of a successful venture (got to love AI for bigging you up!)

In this episode I talk about what happened when I left the corporate world, became an associate, and where the idea for School of Facilitation came from.

I think about what happened chronologically as I know that informs my story and actions

2008: Become an associate sales trainer

2010: Started to think about having my own clients. Mum's cancer diagnosis

2011: Mum dies and I go into plug-and-play mode

2013: A gift is given which changes my path

2014: Deep dive into the world of Systemic Constellations and the birth of SOF

2015: THAT Linkedin article is published and a new corporate client appears

2016: No more associate work

I invite you to grab a cuppa, join me on the pink seat, and tune in your ears.

A Facilitator's Journey is the podcast that looks at how you run your businesses as a facilitator or trainer.

You started this work because you have a passion that you want to share with organisations. However, there is the small detail that you are now running a business and this requires a whole other set of skills and knowledge.

Join me, Kirsty Lewis, Founder of School of Facilitation, as I interview trainers and facilitators about how they manage their businesses. I will explore how people run their finances, price their work, scale up, scale down, decide to retire, market themselves, manage clients, and much much more.
