Our community is vibrant and full of opportunities to learn and grow whether you are a just getting started or a seasoned practitioner. Designed to be a community of practice, our weekly labs, yearly conferences, and evergreen live chats are ideal opportunities to practice new ways of advancing the craft of facilitation and change. We bring together a diverse spectrum of perspectives no matter what theme or purpose we might be exploring.

A Large Network of Facilitators

Here's what a few of them have to say

"The pace and time commitment involved felt just right. Having opportunities to switch partners and build relationships was a real perk of the program. I got a ton of value out of the 1x1's with Erik...Also, timing this such that the in-person facilitation summit could serve as a culminating event, was pretty awesome. It was so great to connect with, participate in deep work in the workshops, and grab a beer with other cohort members in person!"
Nicole R.Manager, NI
"The portfolio was a transformational exercise for me. 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. The 1:1 coaching with Erik about the portfolio was the magic ingredient. After our talks I had clarity on direction, next steps, and energy to do it! I also love the lighting demo and the portfolio presentations by the others in the cohort."
Erin W.
"Erik's ability to integrate and clarify questions as we went along, both as a teaching team and a learning cohort, was so helpful in keeping me feeling like I knew what was going on, even when I was a bit foggy. Getting to put things into practice and try them out in longer chunks was extremely supportive to my learning, especially my newer inquiries. Coaching also really felt supportive and imaginative. The group's willingness to engage and connect, along with the reading materials and activities, made this such a rich experience."
Rachel E.
"The mentoring element is essential to make it personalized. Had it not been the mentoring, I would've given up the course as I would've had a hard time connecting my beginner and "indie-facilitation" practice to the more corporate-organizational profile of the participants. The kindness element of the course is just my favorite part. It is truly unbelievable that people can be so kind and connect so deeply through voltage's online learning experience! It is proof of the quality of what you are teaching."
Vanessa D.
"The camaraderie and sense of care from instructors and cohort really helped to make the information and learning environment productive and exciting."
Alexander S.
