Show Notes

Absolute blast from the past! I'm diving back into 2020 with this gem: A replay of a webinar I co-hosted with my friend (and innovation guru) Joeri Schilders, who you might remember from his previous appearances on the show.

Back when Zoom fatigue was real and the pivot to virtual had us all scrambling, Yuri and I created something called Virtually Possible. We believed (and still do!) that it is possible to recreate the magic of in-person workshops—without needing a studio setup, mega budget, or over-engineered tech.

🎧 In this episode, you'll hear the full replay of our live webinar:

“Five Ways to Ramp Up the Energy in Your Sessions—by Being a Bit Lazy” 😴✨

This isn’t about napping through your sessions or sipping mojitos on mute. Instead, we explore clever ways to design less and let your participants do more—aka be the elves to your shoemaker (yes, there’s a fairy tale involved…).

💡 Inside this convo, we share:

The power of BYO content (and how to get your group to co-create magic)
Movement prompts that actually work (hello, triangle/square hand game!)
Why we wore matching “Virtually” and “Possible” tees—and why they stole the show
The Talking Teddy trick (yes, Elmo made an appearance)
Our ultimate low-effort, high-impact “pacifier” strategy to hold attention during tech hiccups

🎯 This episode is perfect if:

You’re still running virtual workshops (and want to make them better, faster)
You’re training others and want to look like a facilitation rockstar with less stress
You want to see how two very different styles (Dutch directness + Aussie adaptability) combine for powerful co-facilitation

Enjoy!
