“I realized my entire role is facilitation. I have to do a lot of lateral influencing. So I use these skills even if it is not a super-structured workshop. Our product team has micro meetings all the time, and these methods help us get the most of those moments. My team can lean on me to facilitate. You will redesign the way you have conversations. I can’t believe every college student doesn’t have to take a class like this. This is how you collaborate. It is the underpinning of the future of work.”

“If you are looking to learn a topic for the first time or level up your own skills or that of your team, then the virtual workshops offered by Voltage Control are a great option. After engaging with Voltage Control we are now confidently moving beyond design thinking and regularly pushing prototypes into production.”

If you enjoy meeting new people, hearing things that are novel and not obvious, and pushing the boundaries of what you thought was possible, join us for an event sometime!
“I loved the (facilitation) conference. As a relatively novice facilitator, I returned energized and inspired. When I signed up for the conference – I mostly did so because of rave reviews from my colleagues. It was a little hard to tell what I was getting into from the event page. There’s so much value here for folks in leadership roles etc.”
