Facilitation

What I do

Most “community building” is broadcast with a comments section. What I build is different: structured intimacy at whatever scale the room needs. Twelve people in a cohort. Five hundred in an ongoing community. A one-day workshop. The craft is the same.

• Workshops & offsites, designed around the connection craft, not generic icebreakers.
• Cohort experiences & programme design, multi-week formats where trust compounds and work follows.
• Ongoing community stewardship, advisory or hands-on, for communities that have outgrown a Slack channel and need a practice.

Communities & programmes I’ve stewarded

Rooms I’ve helped build and steward, from small cohorts to communities of hundreds:

• Sketch Your Mind, co-steward with Zsolt Viczián, visual-thinking community built around the Obsidian Excalidraw plugin.
• Digital Fitness, Dutch knowledge-worker community; moderator of the Digital Gardening space.
• Linking Your Thinking (LYT), long-standing contributor and steward across programmes.
• 10K Hours of Play, community admin, alliance connector, coaching prompt library author.
• CulturaGo (EdTech), programme facilitation at scale.

How I approach a room

Three principles I keep on the wall:

1. Warmth before work. The room’s temperature sets the ceiling for everything that follows.
2. Structure as a kindness. Free-form is rarely free, it tends to advantage the loudest. Good structure redistributes the oxygen.
3. Guard the edges, not the centre. My job isn’t to drive the content, it’s to hold the container so the people inside can.

Bring me into your space

Workshops, cohort design, ongoing stewardship, or a one-off intervention. Start with a 30-minute conversation to see what fits.
