Ignite 🔥 your impact with Joe.

Three simple ways I can help:

🔥 Grow your facilitation business.

🔥 Make your nonprofit strong.

🔥 Give your conference audience everything they want.

Hey, I’m Joe Bartmann, a facilitator, coach, speaker, and nonprofit leader. When I’m not leading a rural community development nonprofit, I help other nonprofit leaders and solo facilitators up their game so they can love the work behind the work they do.

I also write Facilitators on Fire, a newsletter for independent facilitators who want to learn pro tips and grow their businesses. I’ll show you how to work on your facilitation business while working in it, so you can help more clients, make more money, and avoid merely selling more of your time.

Here are three simple ways I can help you.

I help nonprofits get better at the stuff they do behind their mission.

Let’s get your board governance and relationships working better for you.

I help event organizers promise attendees they’ll get what they came for.

Add crowd-sourced breakout sessions to your conference, meeting, or community event. See how it can work for you.

I help facilitators work on their business so they can help more clients.

Vitamin F is a newsletter with tools and ideas from experts to help you grow your facilitation business.

These are the three principles at the center of my facilitation and coaching.

Help your solutions emerge.

Ask powerful questions.

Share game-changing habits.
