  • Grounded and Inspiring

    What I love about Beth’s podcast is that every interview and episode is different. We get to know who Beth is as a facilitator, what inspires her, but also be along side her when she learns new things! It feels like you are right there with her in each episode :) One of my favourite facilitating podcasts.

    Beth’s second episode had me nodding at every facilitation tip! She covered some common challenges and useful ways to approach your next facilitated lesson! I recommend this for all new to teaching, and those who have been doing it a while and need a reminder to stop, think, and be more intentional again at what you do.
