Let's face it, designing engaging live online sessions can feel overwhelming.
Ever found yourself staring at the clock, realizing you’ve spent the entire morning just trying to draft an agenda for your next workshop or webinar?
You’ve probably spent hours wrestling with questions like:
- What’s the best way to kick things off?
- When’s the right time for a breakout?
- How much content should I include?
- How do I keep it fresh and engaging?
- How am I going to fit everything in???
Here’s the problem👇
When the design choices aren’t quite right, it can throw off your entire session.
The pacing will feel off, participants will be quiet, hesitant to engage, and you will be left fighting to keep the energy alive.
It’s frustrating, right? You wil pour your heart—and countless hours—into crafting something valuable.
But despite all that effort, engagement still won't be where you want it to be.
And when the session wraps up, you will be left wondering:
- Did the session really hit the mark?
- Are participants walking away with the full value I wanted to deliver?
Sure, there will be a few polite "thank you’s" in the chat, but deep down, you know it could have been better.
It feels like your virtual sessions aren’t translating into the results you’re striving for:
--> Lively engagement
--> Opportunities to increase your impact
--> And a clear path to expand your impact and grow your business
And so, you’re back to the drawing board.
If this sounds all too familiar, you’re certainly not alone. So many people are still trying to crack the online session puzzle.
Trust me—I’ve been there, too.
But it doesn’t have to be that way... No-ho way!
Because here's what you don't need:
❌ You don't need the stress of facing a blank screen when putting your session design together.
❌ You don't need to spend more precious hours trying to cobble together tips & tricks you've found on the internet.
❌ You don't need to manually go through a list of possible activities that may or may not work.
Imagine this instead:
🙌 Feeling confident that you've got a rock-solid session plan that will leave your group members (and you) feeling energized and inspired.
🙌 Freeing up time to do things you want to do instead of sitting in front of your computer for hours on end.
🙌 Having freedom and flexibility to do the work you love - wherever you have a laptop and internet connection.
☝️That's what's possible when you have a ✨PROVEN AND RELIABLE✨ design process... And that's exactly what I've created for you. 👇
