LEVEL-UP YOUR MEETINGS

2020 had a major impact on many things, including how we meet. If you’ve had to lead meetings over the last 12 months, it might have been all you could do to just throw a meeting together and hope it worked out. Between fighting your own burnout and the zoom fatigue of others, you likely ended up with a year of mixed results. A year later, we have the opportunity to refresh our approach and level-up our meetings.

Whether 2021 has you facilitating meetings that are in-person, virtual, or a mixture of both, my 3-part virtual workshop will help you design spaces that are both productive *and* rejuvenating.

WHAT TO EXPECT: This 3-part workshop will cover key tools & practices to make your meetings more productive, energizing, and people-centered. Participants will get a chance to address their biggest facilitation challenges, build out a plan for their next meeting, and practice their new skills.

Participants will receive materials to help them design more successful meetings.

Part 1 | Setting your mtgs up for success
Tools for designing a better agenda & more!

Part 2 | Creating people-centered spaces
Tools for building energy, engaging different personalities & more!

Part 3 | Putting it into practice

*Bonus: my #1 tool for virtual meetings!

• May not call themselves a “facilitator”, but find themselves facilitating meetings on a regular basis

COVID-19 and global uprisings overshadow what would otherwise be a celebratory time for college graduates. Instead, recent grads are expected to begin their careers in a world where much is unknown. However, while planning for the future at a time like this may appear daunting, now may be the best time for you to reinvent your own professional path. As activists across the globe call for all to reimagine economic systems that hurt black people, you can take advantage of the moment to reimagine your personal vision and goals.

​

If you’re a Black 2020 college graduate who is feeling anxious because you’ve had to scrap your original plans, overwhelmed about your job search, concerned that all your hard work was for nothing, or a new desire to shift your focus to find work that is more meaningful, the Bright Black Futures Webinar will give you the tools you need to gain clarity and confidence about your career trajectory.

​

What to expect: Jessica Wernli’s Bright Black Futures Webinar focuses on 4 BIG-PICTURE questions that college graduates can use to get clear about their personal vision and career. Participants will receive worksheets that they can use for reflection and planning following the webinar.

​

The big-picture questions Jessica introduces build on a decade of experience in personal transformation and follow the tried and tested framework she uses to help groups and communities turn their pivotal moments into defining ones.
