I facilitate because I am Palestinian but being Palestinian has actually moulded me to be a better facilitator Every chair needs an adornment I’m proud to be Palestinian. I’m proud to be a Start-up Founder. I’m proud to be an Expert Facilitator. As I explained in last week’s blog, these 3 things are not a coincidence.

The way we do this at Shiageto is by providing expert... Continue Reading

I’d never even heard of the word lanyard until I got into facilitating For those of you that follow my blogs or have watched my business grow, you’ll know that I love facilitating.

Nothing beats a round of applause This is a reprint of a classic blog that I wrote in November 2019 when I first started my company Shiageto Consulting. Enjoy! How was the last meeting you went to? What did you think of that last workshop you attended? How about that training day? Was it productive? Did you achieve all that you set out to achieve beforehand? Did everyone get to share their point of view? Did you finish on time and get to your next appointment without a problem? If you can genuinely answer yes to the above questions, then you are a lucky individual my friend and I am much in... Continue Reading
