You told
me the
same thing
I asked more than sixty people what wasn't working in their live sessions.
Twenty-five said engagement. Almost nobody said decisions.
"Lots of discussion, which is great, but it can feel like we didn't actually accomplish anything."
That's the sentence I keep coming back to.
Engagement isn't the problem. You can have a room full of people talking and still end the hour with nothing decided and nothing following.
The gap isn't attention. It's that the hour was never designed to lead anywhere.
Remote gives you nowhere to hide
In a physical room you can rescue a thin agenda with energy in the first ten minutes. On a call you can't.
Nobody carries you. The silence is longer. The mic is dominated by the loudest voice. Cameras are off. Email and Slack are one click away.
Remote sessions have to be designed. That's the whole method.
This is for two kinds of people
Your sessions mostly work. People show up, they talk, the board fills. And you still close some of them quietly wondering what actually changed.
Or your sessions have gone flat. Too formal, too framed, the same shapes every time, and you're the one who notices first.
Both of those are design problems, not personality problems. Nobody fixes them by being more enthusiastic on camera.
🚫 Not for you if you don't want to run live sessions. This assumes you do.
❌ And we don't cover: engagement tricks and icebreakers. Workshop sales, scoping or pricing. Multi-day design. In-person.
Live Proof
Design
Which piece of your method the hour runs, and what people will have done by the time it ends.
Presence
The room built so people do the work instead of watching you do it.
Decision
How the hour ends, so carrying on with you is the obvious next step.
Anyone can describe a method. Nobody can fake running it.
Async first, then live
📹 Async first, then live. Video kicks off the week. It opens the subject and gives you something to think through on your own, before anyone else's opinion is in the room.
👨💻 90min Live on Thursday. The together part. Going deep on it, in reps, with real conversations about the work.
That's the same sequence I'll teach you to design into your own sessions. Individual before group. Written before spoken. You spend four weeks inside the structure you're learning to build.
Your session, built, booked and ready to announce
Week 1. What it has to lead to.
The decision the hour is built to produce, and your first draft.
📹 Mon 19 Oct ・ 👨💻 Thu 22 Oct
Week 2. Build the hour.
Flow, activities, timing, instructions, the board.
📹 Mon 26 Oct ・ 👨💻 Thu 29 Oct
Week 3. Share and review.
You share it with the cohort. Then we take it apart together.
📹 Mon 2 Nov ・ 👨💻 Thu 5 Nov
Week 4. Making it real.
We anchor what you've learned, and you leave with the date, the board and a promise you can announce.
📹 Mon 9 Nov ・ 👨💻 Thu 12 Nov
Every live session is 15:00 to 16:30 CET.
That's 14:00 London, 09:00 New York.
What you get
Your session built, booked and ready to announce. Not just a plan.
Weekly async videos, 20-25 minutes, yours to keep
Four 90-minute live Thursdays with me and the whole cohort
Structured conversations with me
Recordings and notes after every session
The materials I run this on, yours to reuse
Carolina Poll
Strategic Designer & Facilitator
18 years in design, the last 9 inside fast-growing SaaS, 6 of those leading distributed teams of 20+, first as Head of Design at CoachHub, where I grew the design team from 4 to 25 across Europe, then at MVP Factory.
What I noticed when leading those teams is that, despite being more of an introvert, I was good in the room, workshops, groups of any size or mix. One-on-ones drained me. Still do.
That's the actual reason I do what I do now. I design and facilitate live sessions that get things done, without needing a room full of extroverts.
What people say about working with me
Christoph Poyault
“Carolina is an expert facilitator who deeply cares that every participant knows clearly what is expected.
Every digital artifact Carolina touches becomes beautiful and easy to grasp at a first glance. She succeeds in making complicated information easy to understand for everyone.”
Violetta Morozenko
"So many people form different places, but we still have the same struggles in distributed collaboration. I love the ideas and insights that can be used in my next meeting.
Carolina, thanks a lot! I am learning how you lead workshops and I absolutely love the dynamic and timing you follow.
Rosie Evans-Krimme
"Carolina helped the Coaching Lab team connect the dots between product and customer needs through her strong facilitation skills and impactful workshops.
It’s rare to work with someone who can truly work in a co-creative way and maintain the speed and delivery needed for a fast-growing, technology company."
From my live sessions
"Feeling active and participatory, but not having to say a word. Suits us quiet Finns perfectly!"
Kimmo, Development Director & Design Lead - Live Session #2
"Enjoyed following along with the independence of contributing real experiences. It allowed me to feel like a participant and consider how I could utilize Miro."
Ed,Executive & Leadership Coach - Live Session #2

FAQ
Do I work on my own session?
Yes. That's the whole point. You bring one you actually intend to run, and you leave having run it.
What if I don't have one planned?
Bring your method. Week 1 is deciding what turns into a session.
Do I need my own audience?
No, but you need to get people to your live session afterwards, and this isn't what this covers.
Will I have to facilitate in front of everyone?
Partly, we will practice within the group.
I already run sessions. Is this too basic?
It assumes you facilitate already. It doesn't cover icebreakers or engagement tactics, and it isn't facilitation-as-a-business training either.
What if I miss a Thursday?
Everything is recorded, but the value is in the room and the peer group depends on the same people showing up. If you can't make most Thursdays, take the next cohort.
