THE SELF-TRUST PRIMER™

YOUR SESSION IS PREPARED.
ARE YOU?

A live webinar for experienced facilitators and Agile coaches to practise a simple way to prepare themselves, not just their session - before they even open their mouth.

Settle your state.
Choose how you want to meet the room.

THE PROBLEM

YOU’VE PREPARED THE SESSION.
WHY ARE YOU STILL CHECKING THE AGENDA?

You know how to facilitate.

You’ve run sessions before.

You’ve prepared the agenda.

You’ve thought about the exercises, timing and outcomes.

You’ve checked who will be in the room.

You’ve even got a backup plan.

And yet, as the session gets closer, that internal voice can get louder:

What if what I’ve prepared doesn’t work with this group?

What if we don’t get the outcome they’re expecting?

What if that person is difficult?

What if I don’t know what to do?

What if they don’t like me?

So you rehearse the agenda again.

Check the backup plan.

Think through another possible scenario.

And try to anticipate what might happen.

Maybe you don’t need to prepare MORE.

Maybe there’s another part of the session to prepare:
YOU.

YOU CAN’T PREPARE FOR EVERYTHING THAT COULD HAPPEN.

YOU CAN PREPARE YOURSELF TO MEET WHAT DOES.

Most session preparation focuses on what you’re going to do:

Session preparation

  • The agenda
  • The exercises
  • The timing
  • The outcome
  • The backup plan

Self preparation

  • What you’re focusing on
  • The state you’re in
  • How you’re positioning yourself in relation to the people in front of you

The Self-Trust Primer™ gives you a practical way to prepare those too.

Not instead of preparing your session. Alongside it.

WHAT YOU’LL PRACTISE

THREE THINGS TO PREPARE BEFORE YOU ENTER THE ROOM

01 — SET YOUR FOCUS

Choose where you want to place your attention before the room starts competing for it.

02 — SETTLE YOUR STATE

Practise a simple way to settle yourself before you facilitate.

03 — CHOOSE YOUR POSITION

Notice how you’re positioning yourself toward the people you’re about to facilitate.

You’ll apply all three to one real upcoming session during the webinar.

BY THE END OF THIS WEBINAR, YOU WILL BE ABLE TO...

  • Identify when your preparation is starting to shift into second-guessing.
  • Choose how to prepare your focus, state and position before an upcoming session.
  • Apply a simple pre-session practice to one real facilitation session you have coming up.

WHEN DOES PREPARATION BECOME SECOND-GUESSING?

Preparation matters.

Your agenda gives you direction.

Your activities give you options.

Your backup plans can be useful.

But an agenda cannot tell you exactly what will happen when real people enter the room.

So when uncertainty appears, it can be tempting to prepare more.

  • One more agenda check
  • One more backup activity
  • One more possible scenario
  • One more mental rehearsal of what could go wrong

The aim isn’t to stop preparing.

It’s to add another kind of preparation: preparing yourself.

WHAT ARE YOU PRIMING YOURSELF TO NOTICE?

Imagine walking into your next session already thinking:

Who is going to be difficult?

What might your attention start looking for?

What if this doesn’t work?

What might you notice first?

What if they don’t like me?

Where might your attention go?

In the webinar, you’ll experience a simple exercise that demonstrates how quickly our attention can be directed toward what we’ve been asked to look for.

WHAT DO I WANT TO STAY CURIOUS ABOUT?

You’re not pretending everything will go well.

You’re choosing where to place your attention before the room starts competing for it.

BONUS #1

THE FULL WEBINAR RECORDING

Can’t make it live? Register anyway.

You’ll receive the full recording of The Self-Trust Primer™, so you can watch the session at a time that works for you or revisit the practices before an upcoming facilitation session.

BONUS #2

A COMPLIMENTARY 30-MINUTE IMPLEMENTATION CALL WITH ANDRA

Practising the process in the webinar is the first step.

Applying it to your facilitation is where it becomes personal.

Bring a real facilitation challenge or upcoming session.

During the call, we can:

  • Identify where second-guessing tends to show up for you
  • Apply Focus → State → Position to a real upcoming session
  • Explore what you may already be priming yourself to notice
  • Choose how you want to enter that particular room
  • Identify one practical next step you can use in your facilitation

YOUR SESSION. YOUR ROOM. YOUR NEXT STEP.

Andra Hartlieb

THIS WEBINAR IS FOR YOU IF...

You’re an experienced facilitator or Agile coach.

You already have tools, techniques and experience.

And still, before some sessions...

  • You rehearse an agenda you already know
  • You check your backup plans again
  • You look at the participant list and wonder who might be difficult
  • You try to anticipate how people will respond

What if this doesn’t work?

What if I don’t know what to do?

What if I don’t get the outcome they expect?

What if they don’t like me?

You’re not looking for another list of facilitation activities.

You want another way to prepare for the part you cannot put on an agenda:

WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS IN THE ROOM.

IMAGINE YOUR NEXT SESSION...

The agenda is prepared.

You notice the urge to check it one more time.

And instead, you pause.

You ask: What do I want to stay curious about?

You breathe. You settle.

You visualise yourself entering the room and facilitating well. Once. Twice. Three times.

You include a moment where something unexpected happens - and picture yourself pausing, noticing and responding rather than immediately reacting.

You check your position: I’m OK. You’re OK.

And you enter the room.

Not because you can predict exactly what will happen.
Because you’ve prepared yourself to meet what does.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER YOU REGISTER?

Once you register, you’ll receive confirmation with everything you need to join the live webinar.

Before the session, choose one real upcoming facilitation session to bring with you.

During the webinar, you’ll use that session to practise the exercises and apply Focus → State → Position.

After the webinar, you’ll receive access to the full recording.

You’ll also receive details for your complimentary 30-minute implementation call, where you can apply the work to your own facilitation context.

PREPARE THE SESSION.
PREPARE YOURSELF.
THEN MEET THE ROOM.

You cannot predict every participant response.

You cannot plan every conversation.

You cannot know exactly when the energy in a room will change.

And you don’t need to.

You can prepare your session.

And you can practise preparing yourself.

Your focus. Your state. Your position.

So before you even open your mouth, you’ve already made an intentional choice about how you want to meet the room.
