Pleun Elsa Andriessen is a graduate of the 2022 Menstrual Cycle Coaching and Facilitation Professional Training.

She now runs the Bloody Practical menstrual education and coaching platform, and has an extensive background of facilitation and learning design consultancy in the human rights space.

Pleun joins us today to speak with me about her vast professional work experience as a facilitator, her journey with Bloody Practical, and all the things that make a skilled facilitator and educator. Join us for this engaging chat!

We chatted about:

• Pleun's professional journey that led to the Bloody Practical branch of her practice

• The intersection of the professional and personal in facilitation work

• Facilitation, learning design, course design

• The point of change where we meet our clients

• Looking after ourselves as professionals

• Pleun's My Cycle And Me menstrual cycle awareness workshops

• Working with clients who 'want to be told what to do'

• Group facilitation

• Why workshops can sometimes be messy
