Power to Train is here!

Power to Train is a training experience based on the content and knowledge developed and delivered by Dr Rich Allen over his 40 year career. ‘The Power to Train’ workshop was designed for facilitators, trainers and anyone wanting to bring their 'A' game and deliver their message with purpose in meetings, workshops and training.


Power to Train carries on the same enthusiasm and passion for facilitation. The fundamental skills and knowledge from Dr Rich are the foundation for the workshop, the key addition being time spent focusing on Online/Hybrid learning. Since 2019 the training and facilitation space suffered major setbacks, and the ability to engage with others through a camera and a computer screen became essential. Pete Gervasoni and Teresa Riccio-Goodwin navigated the shift to online training using the Power to Train methodology and adapting it to the online learning environment.


Power to Train offers a complete training experience for attendees and covers all aspects of Facilitation. With a variety of options there is an experience to suit all individuals and organisations, amateur to superstar. Our goal at Power to Train is to entertain, excite and create an unforgettable experience. We inspire our attendees to be rockstars in facilitation, engage their audience, entertain them and having them wanting an encore!
