What leaders and facilitators say
MaheenPrincipal Consultant, Team Quest
“Said's generosity of patience, tools, and wisdom are boosting my ability to stand out as a facilitator. I've witnessed him training large and micro-groups; and his ability to connect with his participants while also managing time and attention are 10/10 every time. Highly recommend if you want to boost your facilitation game even a little.”
Raffaelina RossettiVisual Thinker & Workshop Creator, DenkFlow
“Attending Said’s Stream Deck | Starter Training was truly inspiring. He shared his expertise with such generosity, taking time to answer every single question with patience and depth. What stood out most for me was how practical and hands-on the session was—Said not only showed us how to set up the Stream Deck from scratch, but also opened up entirely new realms of possibility for how I can use it in my own facilitation and creative work. The most valuable part for me was seeing how customizable the Stream Deck can be—not just as a tool for smooth, interactive sessions, but as a gateway to productivity and flow. It felt mind-blowing to realize how much potential there is once you begin to explore plugins, multi-actions, and visual cues. I’d wholeheartedly recommend this workshop to facilitators, trainers, and educators who want to bring ease, efficiency, and a new level of engagement into their work. Said makes the technical simple, the complex inspiring, and the learning process a lot of fun.”
Ruben GazkiMeeting Leader Coach, Optimus Kompetanse AS
“The session with Said was fun, efficient and very well tailored to my needs. Said demonstrates and explains even pretty technical things in a way that makes them easily understandable, and he mada sure I knew how to do things myself before moving on. All in all, it was a transformative session that gave me so much value!”

“It’s such a joy opening my weekly dose of The Facilitainment Weekly! I love the layout, but most of all, the content. The tips are simple, practical, and always help me grow in my work as a facilitator. Thank you, Said—you truly bring a touch of magic to facilitation.”

“It is super fun and informative at the same time. And yes, every single time I take something away and I immediately want to try out all the different options and ideas myself. Very helpful to procrastinate on other boring topics (like filing taxes...) ;-) I would recommend this newsletter to any facilitator who is working online. I still know a lot of facilitators who do not like online sessions, little do they know. Need to go, Camo download is ready :-)”
Martine EllisFounder, Martine Ellis Education and Training
“I have done several of Said's courses now and he is an excellent facilitator: knowledgeable, calm, and approachable. I always leave his sessions with improved knowledge and practical skills to implement immediately (having practised them in the session). Thanks Said!”
Ciara LancasterReimagine Change® Keynote Speaker, Reimagine Change
“Said is a world-class virtual facilitation expert. If you want to learn from someone with deep technical knowledge and a calm, grounded presence, book time with Said immediately. I had two private sessions and walked away feeling more confident in my skills and excited about what I can bring to my virtual audiences. Thank you, Said. The world needs more of your brilliance.”
Gurpreet BajajDirector, Qi Mind Labs
“I came in thinking “OBS looks scary” and left thinking “I got this!” What I found most valuable was Said’s steady, beginner-friendly pace with no jargon overload, no tech flexing, just clean, focused guidance on the basics. He kept it real (and human!), trimming the fluff and helping us cut through the overwhelming bells and whistles. Thanks to this, I can now reimagine my client meetings and workshops with tiny but high-impact setups (without a production crew). It’s also given me a clearer way to storyboard and elevate my training delivery. If you're a facilitator, coach, trainer, or just someone tired of looking like a potato on Zoom, I highly recommend this! Said’s your guy to level up your virtual presence without losing your mind!”
Rejena BuckleyVP Operational Excellence and Quality, Radwell International
“The approach Said takes in the class is comfortable and interactive. He helps everyone understand as well as apply learning. The way he shows you how to create the game board makes it so easy. I highly recommend his courses. Anyone wanting to enhance their facilitation and game creation capabilities, this course is for you! Said is definitely passionate about sharing his knowledge and learning, and he continues to add new things in every interaction. I learned a great deal!”
Alice KoFounder, Reframed Coaching
“This was hands-down the most valuable investment I’ve made in my business since earning my coaching certification. Said is THE digital tools facilitation expert. He’s also approachable, hilarious, client-focused, and brings so much positive energy to every session. He’s a walking library of everything you need to know about running engaging, high-impact online experiences. Said's trainings are a MUST for any coach, trainer, facilitator, project manager, or anyone leading virtual meetings. I guarantee learning from Said will 10x (at least, if not more) the clarity, confidence, and effectiveness of your sessions. If every person who ever runs online meetings learned just one thing from Said, we’d all learn faster, collaborate better, and actually enjoy being in an online meeting. Thank you so much, Said!”
Matt RobinsonFounder, Thinking Out Louder
“This masterclass was a fantastic investment. I was able to immediately put the techniques into practice, and my clients were blown away by the visual quality of my OBS scenes. The game changer for me, however, was how accessible everything became. My new Stream Deck setup has transformed my workflow, allowing me to focus on the session content instead of feeling like a slightly panicked octopus searching across multiple screens for the right button or switch. It’s a much more relaxed experience for me, and far more engaging for my clients.”
Carrin RobertsonCommunity and Partnerships Manager, SessionLab
“Said's workshop for the SessionLab community was a fantastic session, from planning and organising the event, to the informative and enjoyable experience itself. Said’s webinar was cool, because we all got to see the magical tools, OBS and Stream Deck, in action, plus had the opportunity to ask in a Q&A format at the end. For me, I learned more about using OBS shortcuts, so that running a session can be less fiddly. I learned about how to use visuals to check-in with the audience, and make it more interactive. Plus Said shared Zoom setup tips with me before and after the workshop which will help in my own role as a community manager and for creating better quality videos Said is very knowledgable with facilitation tools, and tech, and he comes across in a funny and relatable way, making it easy to help fellow facilitators learn more about tools and tech make their own experiences more engaging and smooth. I would recommend Said's workshops and trainings to others, especially those involved in virtual facilitation or training. It's ideal for levelling-up your tech knowledge and presentation design skills.”
Alex HoltProfessional Coach, Alex R. Holt Coaching
“This is one of the best weekly business-oriented newsletters that I read - regarding tools and best practices for the facilitation component of my coaching work - thank you Said! I really appreciate the content included in the newsletter - it's jam-packed with extremely useful information. Based on a few newsletters, I have re-organized my desk/virtual setup space, selected the best technology to optimize my workspace, and feel more up-to-date on tools that I can use to do my online facilitation work (running coaching groups). I subscribe to lots of different email lists/newsletters - I probably only read 10% of them regularly, and this is one of them that I always find time for.”
Neil FarrimondContent Creator, Creator Cafe
“I found Said's workshop extremely valuable. He provided a comprehensive walkthrough of the software and its features, sharing practical use cases and insights into his personal workflows. The session struck an excellent balance between being educational and entertaining, maintaining high engagement throughout. The knowledge I gained was substantial, and I would highly recommend his future workshops to anyone!”
HeshmatSenior Innovation Principal, Elm
“It was an extraordinary experience discovering how to unlock the hidden features of Miro to design easy and engaging games for my audience. I was always wondering where I could find such an experience. Thank you very much. I really appreciate your tips and tricks and your patience in answering my questions. We need more”
Markus BlattCEO, neueBeratung GmbH
“Said is a true pro. I enjoy listening to him very much and he has so much to share. Said always refers to the knowledge and situation of his attendees and finds the right measure of contents. Thank you very much to introducing me to the world of STREAM DECK!”
Katrina KennedyPrinciple Consultant, Katrina Kennedy Training
“Said knows his way around a Stream Deck. He guided me though using it considering my existing knowledge and helping me discover features I'd not been using. I am using my Stream Deck more efficiently and more completely after his class. Worth every penny I spent! Thanks Said.”
Matthew CrokerFreelance Agile Coach, Matt Croker
“I recommend the Creating Games with Miro Masterclass with Said to anyone who uses online tools to facilitate online workshops. Said is genuinely curious and creative, and he brings this spirit into his sessions. Forget about slides and one way delivery, Said makes the masterclass playful and hands-on. Being in a workshop together is an opportunity to be inspired. The workshop attracts like-minded people, and all of a sudden it becomes a collaborative exercise. I would probably even attend it again myself, just to have another go.”
Lucy ChambersFacilitator, Facilitation Mindset
“When I am facilitating, I want to have as few buttons and windows to wrangle as possible. Fancier tech setups often overwhelm me. I'm not really in the Facilitaining business but I went to Said Saddouk's masterclass because I wanted help with my workflow. I had questions like: How do I make screen sharing faff-free? Can I automate parts of my workflow so that I have less to think about while I am running a session? How do I show plus my face at the same time? What settings do I need to make recordings look good? And basically I am super happy, because I got all of that and way more. The part I like about the setup I have now is that I have fewer things to wrangle than if I was just screensharing (it also looks way more swish, which doesn't hurt). This was a great investment! It's not just a masterclass, it's like a guided thought-process to make sure you get the thing done and you actually do it because you have a couple of hours a day to make a little improvement each time! Said really knows his stuff, but also is very good at ensuring you are fulfilling your actual use-cases, rather than doing tech for tech's sake.”
