Why you can be confident that I can help
Hi, I’m Katy, an L&D specialist with 30 years’ experience.
I’ve worked in-house as a senior L&D business partner in a range of organisations including: Compare the Market, Nationwide Building Society, Thomas Cook, Eurocamp Travel and Alton Towers.
I’ve designed and delivered hundreds of workshops, programmes and events both in-person and virtually including:
Management and Leadership development
Train the trainer
Facilitation skills
Team development
Collaboration and Influence
Coaching skills
I’ve seen what works and what doesn’t. Made mistakes and learnt so much about getting interaction, commitment, engagement and results.
And I’ve distilled that down into a programme bursting with tips, ideas and processes which will revolutionise your approach.
In 2020, I set up my development and coaching business Make Real Progress, where – along with the team – I consult, design and deliver impactful programmes and workshops for corporate clients across a range of sectors and industries
I also work with Coaches, L&D and HR professionals to develop their skills to develop others, which is just what Fab Facilitation is all about.
Fab Facilitation is for you if …
You want to improve the quality and results of your in person workshops
You want to build your techniques and confidence to deliver in person
You’re not sure what great facilitation looks and feels like
You’re self-employed or work in-house
You’re a Coach or HR / L&D professional
Fab Facilitation might not be for you if …
You want to run step-by-step process or compliance based training where you can’t deviate from a prescribed structure
You prefer to run one-way presentations rather than interactive learning workshops
You’re highly experienced at facilitating workshops, programmes or groups
What Fab Facilitation covers
Fab facilitation is super-practical, guiding you through the core areas you need to facilitate workshops and programmes.
It’s highly experiential. I’ll be role-modelling as we go through and you’ll be getting involved from the start, getting hands on and giving the tools and techniques a road test.
We start with your onboarding. I’ll get to know more about you, your current experience and confidence levels and what you want to get from the programme.
And on the programme itself we focus on:
Creating the right environment
Starting with style
Bringing your content to life
Being at your best
Managing time and energy
Dealing with challenges
Making it stick
Engaging endings
We follow up the programme a post-questionnaire to measure your progress, post workshop activity on confidence and visuals PLUS access to our monthly drop-in sessions, where you can join with questions or simply idea storming.
What You’ll leave with:
Clarity
On what Fab Facilitation looks like
Creativity
So you can engage participants with a unique blend of activities, discussions and techniques
Confidence
In yourself and your ability to facilitate groups AND that you’ll be way more likely to get change, impact and results
Fab Facilitation gives you an injection of training expertise and confidence in record breaking time.

I’m not a trainer. Is this suitable for me?
Absolutely! We’ve already supported coaches and HR professionals who all want to facilitate groups for various reasons.
No previous L&D knowledge or experience is required.
I’m a trainer / L&D professional. Is this suitable for me?
Maybe! It depends on your experience and confidence.
If you regularly facilitate, are confident in doing so, have high levels of interaction and get great results – then it’s probably not for you.
If you’re used to training from notes, or want to build confidence and toolkit for facilitation, then it may be just what you need!

The total cost is the same, whichever way you choose to pay.
How many people will be on the programme?
We aim for between 6 and 10 participants. This gives us enough people to demonstrate techniques and put it into practise, and opportunity to give support and feedback to each participant.
Please note that we’ll need a minimum of 6 people to make the sessions viable.
Do you run this programme in-house for companies?
We sure do! Pop me an email to katy@makerealprogress.co.uk and we can have a chat.
Can you invoice my company?
Sure thing. Pop me an email to katy@makerealprogress.co.uk and I’ll get that set up.
I’ll need: Company name, address, name and email address for the invoice and a Purchase Order number if your company requires it.
*Please note, we only accept Pay in Full for invoices. Your place is only confirmed when we receive either the Purchase Order, or the payment in full.
Will you cover learning theory?
Our focus will be on practical tools and methods. Whilst I’ve drawn on learning theory to create it, we’re not covering it here.
The reason being, so many people choose to take L&D qualifications to learn how to facilitate – and end up knowing a lot but not able to put it into practise.
Do I need any previous L&D knowledge?
No! We deliberately keep it practical and step by step.
If you’re brand new into the World of L&D, joining our monthly drop-in sessions will really help expand your knowledge too.
Got other questions I haven’t covered? Just pop me an email and I’ll come back to you!
