SOFest: The Why, The What (and the worries)?

In this impromptu episode, I share an exciting announcement—SoFest, a festival for facilitators, trainers, and coaches, is happening Summer 2025.

Join me as I dive into the story behind this bold idea, the challenges I’m facing, and my hopes for creating a vibrant space where our community can connect, learn, and grow in ‘real life’.

If you’ve ever dreamed of taking your facilitation skills out of the Zoom room and into a beautiful, inspiring environment, this is the episode for you.

Plus, get the inside scoop on what’s planned, the hurdles ahead, and how you can get involved.

A Facilitator’s Journey is the podcast that looks at how you run your business as a facilitator or trainer.

You started this work because you have a passion that you want to share with organisations. However, there is the small detail that you are now running a business and this requires a whole other set of skills and knowledge.

Join me, Kirsty Lewis, Founder of School of Facilitation, as I interview trainers and facilitators about how they manage their businesses. I will explore how people run their finances, price their work, scale up, scale down, decide to retire, market themselves, manage clients, and much much more.
