SOF Community Pods

May Community Pod

with Kirsty Lewis
Friday, 2nd May, 0900 - 1000 BST

 

Join the May pod where you will decide what the topic is we will talk about.

This is very much an experiment taking what the group want to explore and creating the space for the conversations to happen.

Think polls, whiteboards, open breakout rooms, conversations and maybe some messy chaos and fun.

We think the topics will fall under one of these headings

  1. Client
  2. Learning
  3. YoU
  4. Business

Come join the fun and let's see what we learn about the process and the topics and ourselves!

Donate to the Pod

As ever the pod is a free event, however more people have been asking if they can pay, make a donation, create a balance of exchange and say thank you for what is created.

If you have been coming to the SOF pod and want to support the superstars behind the scenes then that would be amazing. Buying them a ‘coffee’ is what I think may work.

Emily is that superstar who sets up the website, the newsletter, the social media and answers the cries for help as Zoom links are lost.

There are three ways you can show your appreciation

An Oat Flat white: £3.99

A Mocha with whipped cream: £5.99

A coffee a day for a week: Pay what you want

Want to connect with others on the topics that interest you the most?

The SOF monthly Pod is a place for facilitators, trainers, coaches or consultants where we explore topics around clients, learners, you or your business.

We meet every first Friday of the month on Zoom.

You are welcome here. Take part in a pausesilencereflection and connection experience.

“The pods started in March 2020 in a response to the UK lockdown, facilitators and trainers losing work and needing a space to connect with others.

We gathered every Friday morning for 20 weeks, connecting, sharing and inspiring one another during a difficult time.

We quickly realised this space and community is needed and wanted by you so we continue to meet on the first Friday of every month.”

“That was magnificent. It feels like I have found my tribe. To be part of a Learning Community like this is one of my goals achieved for the year. 8 days in, back of the net.”

“I also wanted to thank you for the Fri morning sessions during lockdown.  I attended about half of them and found them invaluable for connection, community and learning.”

"Each topic has been incredibly valuable. I truly value the opportunity to pause and reflect. Kirsty creates the space for this so beautifully."

Frequently asked questions:

The community Pods are a monthly one hour Zoom call, taking place on the first Friday of every month.

It's a place where facilitators, trainers and coaches can gather and talk about topics that interest them the most.

Anyone! You will get the most out of the sessions if you are a facilitator, trainer or coach.

Whether you are at the very beginning of your journey, or have been a facilitator for a long time, you will leave with valuable insights.

We'd love to discuss your experiences and having you as a guest. Please email contact@schooloffacilitation.com to start the conversation!

As of 2025, we are no longer uploading recordings to YouTube. You can still re-watch old recordings on our YouTube channel, but you need to join live to participate in new pod sessions.
