"Over the past 15 years, I've probably led thousands of online meetings, workshops and discussions. But the session I ran last night - the first one since I participated in Virtual Facilitation's 5-week workshop - was 100x better. I was better prepared, used the tools more fluidly and effectively, and achieved a high level of engagement like never before. The virtual facilitation team were the very definition of "best practice" in pacing the program well, connecting the participants into a learning cohort, and fun."
Robin Neidorf
Strategy, operations, and ROI for communities, foundations, and organizations
"The Virtual Facilitation group offered a great course. It is a "hands on" course; no books, no manuals, no rules and regulations. Instead, you jump in and see what it can do while being guided by three professionals who do know the intricacies of each tool and platform they share with their students."
Donald Kerper
Entrepreneur, Executive Coach, Certified Professional Facilitator
"Events are well designed and dynamic. Active participation is supported and encouraged. Reasonable time is allocated for each activity and is respected.
I learn something new every time I participate to an event and I have fun."
Suzanne Gagnon

"Virtual facilitation with Carolina and Fernando Goes beyond the commonplace and into the realm of true community development. The tools of facilitation I learned from participating in several of their workshops are tools I have utilized for my consulting practice with great clarity and success. Their approach is top-notch."
Diane Walters

"I had the opportunity to participate in a day long strategic visioning and teambuilding workshop facilitated by Ms. Almeida and Mr. Loureiro.

DJ King

Barish Golland
Senior Learning Technology Specialist, Liberating Structures Facilitator
"Virtual Facilitation was the best hands on training I have participated in in a very long time if not ever. Before this learning I knew a little bit about zoom but really didn't have a strong grasp of how to make the most of online meetings. Now I feel I can confidently facilitate even complex webinars..."

"The Virtual Facilitation Workshop was light, fun and dynamic!
