Designed for SMEs, process owners & leaders
Train | The | Trainer for transformation programs
Transformation programs rely on people who are not professional facilitators: subject matter experts, process owners, coaches, leaders. I train them to run interactive sessions in one shared process language, so sessions feel consistent across teams, squads and countries, and local facilitators deliver them without heavy preparation.
What it contains
- Lean session templates with clear documentation, so local facilitators deliver consistent sessions without heavy preparation.
- Hands-on practice: your experts facilitate real scenarios from your program, with peer-to-peer feedback.
- Debrief and follow-through built into every session: specific & shared next steps.
- A clear line between what is harmonized across teams and countries, and what stays local.
- Delivery in person or online, in English or German.
Muscles you can train on at the time
The Facilitation Gym
Facilitation is a set of skills that you can train one at a time. The Facilitation Gym is a prototype of cards and scenarios that help facilitators craft their own training plan, for the moments when a group needs growth, a decision, alignment or co-creation and meandering or avoidance will not get it there. It premiered at the Serious Games for Serious Change Open Space in Berlin in fall 2026. Companies can included it as a scalable train-the-trainer program. Co-created with Chris Caswell.

Meaningful experiences enable valuable results
Training from the BACK of the Room Classes
Training and meeting design that keeps people thinking and talking is a core skill for Scrum Masters, agile coaches, trainers and internal experts. Sharon L. Bowman’s “Training from the BACK of the Room (TBR)” is one of the best-known train-the-trainer resources for them.
In the two-day Practitioner course you apply content-independent, brain-based, interactive strategies and the six learning principles. You work with short formats that are easy to use and design your own training with the 4C instructional design model.
I run the course in-house for your team, in person or online, in English or German.
