Project Overview
Julia - A multi-faceted consultant with a passion for teaching facilitation skills - Was in the process of creating a course called Facilitation 101—a comprehensive programme aimed at helping people master the art of facilitation. While she had all of the content sorted, she needed a solid system to organise all her facilitation knowledge and resources, along with a place to keep the slides for each session. Seeing as Julia was familiar with Notion - I’d previously supported her in creating a page for a charity networks she supports - She decided to once again enlist my Notion services. Together we were able to build a centralised platform for Facilitation 101.
We approached the project in stages, starting with understanding the structure of the course and the specific needs of participants. From there, we designed and built a system that included everything from content organisation, to resource libraries. Throughout the process, Julia and I worked closely together, ensuring that the system aligned perfectly with her branding and vision for the course.
Project Outcome
The collaboration with Julia resulted in a powerful Notion system that became the backbone of her Facilitation 101 course. Here’s what we accomplished:
- Organised Content Hub:
- The Notion system we built enabled Julia to manage all content of the course in one centralised location, with everything organised and easily accessible for her to refer to when editing and updating the course.
- Enhanced Participant Experience:
- We created dedicated spaces within Notion for participants to access course materials and engage with the content. This structure helped to create a more interactive and engaging learning environment, with course participants saying how much they appreciated the organised structure and accessible resources. Julia has also continued to use the system for subsequent cohorts of the course, demonstrating its lasting value.
- Comprehensive Resource Library:
- We built a resource library within Notion that housed all the essential materials for the course—everything from; bookmarks, to reading lists and additional learning resources. This centralised hub made it easy for participants to find what they needed when they needed it.

TL;DR: As this project was all about creating a system that worked for Julia and her course participants. The Notion platform we developed together wasn’t just a tool—it was a vital part of delivering a high-quality learning experience. For Julia, it meant more time spent on what she loves—teaching facilitation skills—and less time worrying about admin. A win for everyone involved!

"Janinah did a fantastic job on creating a new Notion system for my Facilitation training resources. She could quickly intuit what I needed and what would work best for the resources - and created something which looks great and works really well. I loved working with her and would highly recommend her!"
