Show Notes

There are some conversations where you can just feel the depth of thought—and this episode with Jo Fitzgerald is one of them.

I met Jo when she came over to Brisbane earlier this year, and straight away I knew I wanted to hit record on our chats. We finally made it happen!

In this episode, Jo shares her journey from primary school teaching to becoming a facilitator and coach, and how that foundation has shaped the way she shows up in the room today. We talk about:

What teaching children taught her about adult learning
The moment she knew she needed to shift from “doing” facilitation to being a facilitator
Her pre- and post-workshop rituals, including her incredible “intention sheet” (I’m stealing this)
How she handles the post-workshop buzz or flat, and why preparation helps her stay grounded
That public speaking workshop story—you’ll never forget it

Jo also opens up about her superpower: preparation. And she shares how she uses it as a springboard for creativity, agility, and being present—not as a rigid safety net. If you’re early in your facilitation journey, you’ll love her honesty. If you’ve been doing it for years, you’ll feel seen.
