“Facilitation is becoming one of those skills that AI can’t replace. The people who learn it now are going to lead the way forward.”

"Voltage Control’s Facilitation Certification allowed me to name all the skills I was already using, improve them and learn a whole new catalog of ideas, methods and techniques. It also put me in the learner seat again and that value was immeasurable."

“I had my indication that Voltage Control was not just another training institution but took every extra effort to make students feel welcomed, engaged, and valued from the very beginning. This was my first lesson in excellent facilitation.”

"The certification helped me realize that facilitation isn’t about running meetings or putting on a show. It’s about creating environments and experiences. Now my impact is so much greater by facilitating others to be more creative, more collaborative, and more productive."

“The combination of group work, buddy work, and one-on-ones with the instructor that rounded out the program for me. I really appreciated the connections that were developed and the experience of different ways of approaching facilitation.”

"Companies need creative solutions that can only be brought forward through leaders that facilitate inclusive conversations. If you are looking for a program to learn how to create a space for your team or clients to truly speak up and build collective solutions, then Voltage Control's Facilitation Certification is for you."

"We weren’t just learning techniques. We were learning to wield them with intent, to understand the why behind the what. It broke down my preconceived notions and built them back up.

“Voltage Control's program taught my how to ask the big WHY. This approach has become my new compass and my new lens, informing my design for every workshop and meeting.”

"A vital leadership lesson emerged for me during certification. Leaders aren’t just solution providers; they can also be questioners, listeners, and facilitators."

"The certification progam was transformational. I made some mental breakthroughs, gaining insight and awareness about myself, that were really necessary for me to be able to move forward as a facilitator."

"A much-needed different approach to the typical sales process which invariably leads to a long string of unproductive meetings.This training has gotten me rethinking the entire sales approach."

"Collaborating with cohort partners and build relationships was a real highlight of the program. I got a ton of value out of the 1x1's with Erik. It felt very personalized."

"Getting to put things into practice and try them out in longer chunks was extremely supportive to my learning, especially my newer inquiries."

"The mentoring made it so personalized and it is truly unbelievable that people were so kind and connected so deeply."

The camaraderie and sense of care from instructors and cohort really helped to make the information and learning environment productive and exciting.

“The Voltage Control certification was unlike any other learning experience I’ve had. It wasn’t just about acquiring new tools and techniques. It was about reflection, vulnerability, and really understanding myself as a leader.”

"The experience helped me to realize my most passionate areas of facilitation design and refine and focus my ideal areas of expertise. I carry forward multiple mapping strategies that will continue to help me adapt and evolve my practice."

"The opportunity to practice on-the-spot facilitation without a script, combined with the thoughtful feedback (both positives and areas for growth), was incredibly valuable."

"Voltage Control doesn’t just talk at you — they drop you into the deep end (in the best way). You learn by doing, reflecting, and iterating in real time. It’s challenging, yes, but that’s exactly what makes it stick."

“Most professionals are stuck facilitating with no real training—and they have no idea how much better things could be.”"

“I didn’t realize how much extra time it was taking to get things done, until I learned how to structure gatherings to actually lead somewhere."

"This wasn’t your typical certification program—it was facilitation bootcamp meets global mastermind. Every session pulled me out of my comfort zone in the best way and with a diverse circle of facilitators from across the world."

"The continuous learning after certification has truly deepened my skills and confidence. Having mentor office hours to connect with other alumni, see expert facilitation modeled in real-time, receive input from peers, and talk through practical problems has been valuable."
