What is the Fixing Facilitation Fatigue course about?

Despite deep facilitation expertise, recurring workshops still require full rewrites of agendas, stakeholder alignment sessions, and custom templates each time. There’s no living repository of what worked before. This leads to facilitation fatigue, high output, low leverage, and burnout risk. Ben is now delivering facilitation as a service, not just internally, so efficiency and repeatability directly impact scalability.
