Javier LlerenaLead Conductor Facilitator, Re-Invent Consulting“This session completely transformed the way I use OBS for facilitating. I finally understood how to create a clean, professional setup that keeps participants engaged from start to finish. What stood out the most was learning how to switch scenes smoothly, integrate slides, and manage multiple inputs without breaking flow. It made my facilitation feel polished and effortless. The step-by-step guidance helped me simplify my tech setup and remove the stress I used to feel before going live. I now run sessions with more confidence, clarity, and creativity. The productivity boost alone was worth it. I’d recommend this session to any facilitator, trainer, or coach who wants to use OBS to elevate their virtual presence. If you want your workshops to feel more dynamic, interactive, and professional, this is exactly where you should start.”
Dagmar GlowLeadership Coach, 90 Minute Labs“One of the annoying things for me in online workshop facilitation is the juggling between tabs: Zoom, Google Slides, Menti, Miro. It was great to learn how seamless and easy the transitions are with OBS. And what I appreciate even more is that Said took the time to answer all my questions and got back to me after the event with even more information and useful plugins. How awesome is that!”
Gwyn WansbroughFacilitator, Trainer, Course Creator, Live Session Magic“I’m still AMAZED at how much value I got out of just one 90-minute coaching session with Said. I’d been stuck with a home studio setup that just wasn’t working. I’d spent hours fiddling, tweaking, second-guessing—never quite getting it right. Said changed all that. He helped me troubleshoot every single issue—step by step—with calm, expert guidance. He recommended gear options at different price points (so I could make decisions that fit my budget). He answered every question. No fluff. No overwhelm. Just solid, practical advice. I followed his recommendations to the letter. And now? I have a setup I can trust—reliable, consistent, and finally off my mind. If you’re spinning your wheels trying to get your tech sorted, stop. Book a session with Said. I only wish I’d done it sooner!”
Jacinta Cubis(Fl)awesome Facilitator, Jacinta Cubis
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!”
Nathy RavezFounder of "La Workshoppeuse", La Workshoppeuse“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.”
Angela KörnerTrainer & Coach, Angela Körner“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!”
Marek SzeszyckiFounder, Facilitator & Strategist, With Courage Studio“Until I committed to this cohort, I kept putting off building my virtual setup. The structure of accountability and learning by doing made all the difference. Over the 5 days, Said helped me build a solid baseline of knowledge about the resources and a reusable template foundation that I continue to build on (I'm loving my Stream Deck). If you're ready to simplify how you facilitate and genuinely stand out on camera, Said's tailored coaching gives you the skills and the confidence to make that happen. Highly recommended.”
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”
Angela KörnerTrainer & Coach, Angela Körner“To learn more about the various features Butter is offering. I really think this different environment - from Zoom, not even to mention Teams 😉 – can make a huge difference to online sessions. Yes, I would recommend it to other trainers and facilitators, one because I think a lot of my colleagues don't know about Butter at all, and second, you need to see it live and in action, and this is what I experienced in the session!”
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.”
Gwyn WansbroughFacilitator, Trainer, Course Creator, Live Session Magic“Said's session helped me get unstuck. I had a Stream Deck for months collecting dust on my desk. Said's session helped me get it set up and working. He showed me features I didn't even know existed. Like Multi Action shortcuts to automatically turn on studio lights and monitors. And that was just one golden nugget of so many he shared! I highly recommend Said's workshop for anyone who wants to discover the wonders of StreamDeck.”
Martine EllisFounder, Martine Ellis Education and Training
Angela KörnerTrainer & Coach, Angela Körner“With the Miro Game Creation Masterclass, Said once again proved why he’s the Facilitainer! The session was packed with valuable takeaways on how to facilitate using Miro’s features , all delivered with a big dose of fun. It was a perfect example of how learning can be both effective and entertaining. Including games intentionally creates such an engaging and memorable experience. The session was easy to follow, the learnings are immediately applicable, and the atmosphere was incredibly supportive. Whether you’re new to Miro or already a pro, I can only recommend Said’s masterclass!”
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.”
Heather Walker, Ph.D.CEO, Lead with Levity“I had the pleasure of working with Said as a workshop producer for multiple team-building sessions using the Butter.us platform, and I can confidently say he was instrumental in making them a success. This was my first time leveraging Butter for this type of session, and Said made the entire process seamless. From the start, he helped me get comfortable with the platform, offering thoughtful suggestions on how to structure engaging activities that would keep energy levels high—even for an all-day online workshop (no small feat!). Throughout the session, he was more than just a producer; he was an active partner. He kept me on track with the agenda, engaged directly with participants, and provided real-time suggestions that enhanced the experience. His support didn’t stop there—before, during, and after the session, he shared valuable recommendations that I’ll carry forward in future workshops. Said genuinely cares about the quality of the experience, not just from a technical standpoint, but in ensuring that every participant walks away feeling engaged and energized. If you're looking for a workshop producer who is proactive, detail-oriented, and committed to making sessions as impactful as possible, I highly recommend working with him!”
Stefan PetterssonExecutive Brand Strategist certified and expert in sustainable Destination Management, Corkscrew Thinker and founder of GAMENG- the Positive Rebel Agency., GAMENG- the Positive Rebel Agency.“If you see anyone doing cool and entertaining things in virtual meetings, they probably learned it and got inspired by Said. He showed me some really helpful stuff in OBS Studio, and as he is a really good-hearted person, he is the one you should connect with for your next workshop. Enough SAID, connect with him and hire him for the boring meetings. He will facilitain them”
Mirna SmidtTrainer of Positive Psychology & Train-the-Trainer, Trainers Toolbox & Happiness Academy“OBS Masterclass with Said was absolute treasure box - so many practical, tangible, diverse and smart tips, packed in an easy, digestible format, exploding in value. While OBS is a fantastic tool for anyone working with virtual calls/meetings/workshops, the truth is that it is not the most friendly one if you want to explore it on your own. But Said manages to make it simple & easy, efficient, as well as to spark creativity & new ideas how to leverage this amazing tool. And, he makes it fun on the way. I would highly recommended this session - both for those who are looking to start using OBS more, and for those who are not certain if they really wanna use it... because after the call you will absolutely want to use it :D Thank you, Said, looking forward to the next opportunity to learn from you!”

Lorna McDowallHR Strategy & Collaboration Designer, The Focal Mind“I attended Said’s session on Luma to learn about event hosting & ticketing. The walkthrough enabled me to immediately start testing the tool with an upcoming webinar, and I had great results for registrations and attendance. Said has amazing expertise in hosting virtual events and I’m excited to learn much more. Thank you, Said - for helping me find the fastest path to filling my first virtual event with Luma!”

Kai MagaldiCoach or Personal Branding, Kai Magaldi“As an Online-Trainer, I have to be always up to date. Not easy with all that new upcoming stuff. I struggled for a time with some OBS Studio and Stream Deck issues and couldn’t figure it out on my own. So, I decided to take a 1-on-1 Coaching with Said. Long story short: Best investment of time! Within 90 minutes, Said walked me through all my questions which I couldn’t solve for the last couple of weeks. He taught me how to set up animated lower thirds and gave me step-by-step explanations for some OBS filters. On top of that, he gave me useful advice for some extremely helpful Stream Deck plugins. Awesome. I particularly loved the patient and calm way Said walked me through. His structured explanations were the perfect way for me to completely understand what I have to do. The next day, I was so excited to use the new features in my Coaching Sessions. Great thanks to you, Said. Kai Magaldi Online Coach for Authentic Personal Branding”
Nathan GoldChief Coach, The Demo Coach“I recently had the pleasure of participating in a coaching session with Said, focusing on optimizing and improving my OBS Studio setup. Despite being an experienced OBS user myself, Said's insights and expertise were invaluable in enhancing my workflow and improving the quality of my live-streaming and recording sessions. Throughout the session, Said demonstrated a deep understanding of OBS Studio and shared practical tips I could apply immediately. His willingness to provide ongoing support and plugin recommendations further exemplifies his commitment to client success. I am grateful for Said's expertise and look forward to implementing the changes discussed. I highly recommend his coaching services to anyone looking to elevate their OBS Studio setup, whether you're a beginner or an experienced user like myself. Thank you, Said, for exceeding my expectations and delivering exceptional value for investment of time and money. Nathan Gold”
Manal SayidRegional Director, North America, International Association of Facilitators (IAF)“I was thrilled to have Said Saddouk lead a session for the International Association of Facilitators (IAF) Learn & Connect Series that is comprised of experienced facilitators from around the world. Said's passion for enhancing online facilitation shone through, and his expertise was visible. Participants found his methods impressive and valuable, noting that his techniques allow facilitators to focus more on content and participants rather than getting bogged down with technology. Said’s approach and smart use of technology not only made the session visually appealing but also set it apart as a standout experience. I recommend Said to anyone looking to elevate their virtual facilitation skills!”
Javier LlerenaLead Conductor Facilitator, Re-Invent Consulting
Lux NarayanCo-founder & CEO, StreamAlive“Said is a magician of his craft. His ability to use, demonstrate, and explain tech is an art and a skill. I now use a Stream Deck regularly, thanks to one of Said’s workshops. I’ve also attended a workshop on using OBS, and this was super helpful as well. At our company, StreamAlive, we also collaborated with Said to showcase his facilitainment skills and show people what was possible. Needless to say, it was extremely engaging. I strongly recommend Said to anyone who wants to hone their facilitainer chops.”
Angela KörnerTrainer & Coach, Angela Körner“There is so many things I loved about the masterclass! First of all, Said made it not only look easy but also applying was super easy with his support. The masterclass was very practical and hands-on. We did everything on the spot together and got immediate help if something did not work out. Said helped me to not get overwhelmed by OBS but to really have fun with it. And that is another thing I want to mention. Everything Said is doing is combined with fun. His creativity seems to be endless and is inspiring. With all that said (what a pun ;-)), it helped me use OBS in all my online settings and with that create more fun and interactivity to the sessions. I would absolutely recommend to work with Said. But be prepared...you will get addicted! Thank you, Said!”
Nathy RavezFounder of "La Workshoppeuse", La Workshoppeuse“Said is simply amazing at breaking down the tech stuff behind awesome virtual events, making it super fun and easy to get! 🌟 He helped me shake off my tech fears and took me through everything step by step. In just a few hours, we got my virtual stage up and running with OBS and Streamdeck, and it’s been a game-changer for my work and how much I enjoy it. 🚀 If you wanna build your own virtual stage and make your online sessions sparkle, Said is your go-to guy, all with a ton of laughs and a little magical tricks along the way! Big thanks to the facilitainer! 🙌 . Nathy Ravez | La Workshoppeuse”
Preben T. A. ArentoftSenior Agile Coach, The LEGO Group“I have for some time been impressed and intrigued by Said's many LinkedIn posts about creating fun and engagement in online meetings/workshops and was ready to learn more about the magic he creates in OBS Studio. Needless to say Said didn't disappoint. The workshops were fun and offered lots of tips and tricks on how to master OBS Studio and create cool stuff to engage audiences. I really enjoyed our gatherings and having fun while Said taught us stuff. I missed one workshop and Said kindly offered to show me (in his own spare time) what the group had learned. Now I'm waiting for the more advanced class. Crossing my fingers. Thank you very much Said. I like the way you roll!”
Tatiana RodriguezAdjunct Professor and Content Creator, TatianaTeaches
Lucie AgoliniVisual Experience Designer, CNVS“I attended Said's 'OBS Studio - Starter' and 'Facilitaining Masterclass' courses, and I can’t recommend the quality and value of his content enough 🙌. I love the density of the materials and the way it’s delivered in easy to follow practical steps. You learn so much and yet time flies by while you’re having fun. If you host Zoom meetings and want to present yourself more professionally, or want to keep your audience engaged with meaningful visuals (all using OBS Studio), Said's your guy. He will teach you from the ground up in a warm, effective format with valuable results. Don’t hesitate to sign up, the results are worth every euro spent and more!!”
Amanda NguyễnLearning Experience Designer, AmandaLXD
Rahul HasijaFounder and Creative Head, Swacardz“Loved the possibilities that came up for designing the games on Miro. Since I design card and board games, Said's masterclass opened doors for me to bring in some of my games to Miro for interactive online sessions.”
Critter GilpinHead of Global Faculty, The Colin James Method
Jessica UysEnneagram Facilitator & Coach“I've always envied those facilitators with professional-looking setups and super slicks transitions. Now I know how to do that too! Said has a gift of making the complex both accessible and fun. He designed the course in a way that reduced overwhelm and patiently guided us through the material, allowing plenty of time for practical implementation along the way. The 1:1 is a great value-add to help make sure we're each each set up in a way that works for our unique needs.”
ToluEducational Developer“This was a fantastic training, and I would highly recommend it to anyone else who wants to up their facilitation game! Said patiently guided us through each step for setting up the Stream Deck, and he included mini practice activities along the way. He also shared helpful tips and recommendations for maximizing the potential of the Stream Deck, and he took care to answer all of our questions. By the end of the training, I felt very confident and ready to integrate the Stream Deck into my workflow. Thank you, Said!”
Diana Bernal“Thanks for your patience in answering all of our questions. Loved your thorough walk-through and use cases for everyday use +”

Roberto Ferraro“I learned so much from Said's newsletter and his insights. In fact, if it wasn't for him, I would not have two Elgato Stream Decks on my table, plus an amazing combo with OBS Studio to make my virtual meetings more engaging (and fun). I always recommend to the people who attend my workshops to check Said's work too, a constant source of inspiration, and humour”
Claudio SennhauserPresentation Trainer & Coach“Facilitainment Weekly is my secret weapon for showing up like a pro on screen. Said drops golden nuggets every week, whether it's Zoom, OBS, Miro, or some magical Butter trick I didn’t know I needed. It’s the one newsletter I actually look forward to opening. Consider me inspired and mildly addicted.”
Rafa“The weekly newsletter is a fun and useful guide for the real-world facilitation challenges!”
Sjoerd de Waal“For me the most valuable part of getting started with Stream Deck was going through the use cases of the different buttons. How you can really make your (work)life more organised and fun. The session helped me getting over the threshold of testing and finding out what you can do with your Stream Deck. For next week I will dedicate time to experiment. I would absolutely recommend it to others, because Said enthusiastically guides you through the material and beyond. It was a pleasure to be in this session!”
Ana M MarinInternal Coaching Manager“I loved catching the basics of working with OBS from Said. The tool is quite intuitive (I know now after the session with Said😁) and yet trying to learn the basics on my own I felt overwhelmed, didn't know where to start the exploration or how to create a flow. The session with Said made it all so easy to understand how and more important from where to start the exploration. Said has a lot of passion and adapted to my speed, he supported me when I had questions, was open to share best practices from his experience and made sure I have a full grasp of the info and I can put it in practice. Prepare pictures, logos and presentations that you know you want to use in near future and utilize them during this training - in that way at the end of the session with Said you will leave with a full flow that is ready to use. I fully recommend Said' sessions - with his guidance OBS becomes so easy to use and it will elevate your online training experience for your participants.”
Roberto FerraroProject leader, coach, and visual creator.“I discovered Said through a common friend, who recommended I follow him for his expertise and unique style in facilitation. Said is a wonderful example of how we can combine technical mastery and authentic connection, while at the same learning and having fun. His drive to discover, experiment and play is contagious, and thanks to what he generously shared, I experimented with stream decks, virtual cameras and sounds, and leveled up my virtual communication skills.”
Claudio SennhauserPresentation Trainer & Coach“I'm always looking for new ideas on how to spice things up in my trainings, presentations, and meetings, so I'm super grateful for the day I came across Said on LinkedIn. He is a tremendous source of inspiration. Plus, I love his humorous and light-hearted style. I have attended several workshops led by Said and always learn new tricks to keep audiences engaged in online meetings. Said's knack for teaching removes the overwhelm we often feel when learning new tools. If you are looking to improve your effectiveness in online meetings, no matter your level of tech savvy, check out Said's workshops.”
Kayli LarkinLove & Attachment Coach
Benjamin FelisGraphic Recorder & Visualization Coach“To get from good to outstanding in your online live performances, you need the support of Said! A triple-A rating for his knowledge and skills. Took my online show to the next level, and I also now make high-end recordings of my live workshops. Super helpful and reliable—didn’t know what I was missing until I had his support. Thank you for everything!!”
Jakub MichalskiWebinars 🤙“As a marketing consultant specializing in webinars, I loved Said’s Virtual Facilitation Masterclass. Over five weeks, I learned how to use OBS Studio and Stream Deck to make my webinars more engaging. The small class size and hands-on approach helped me apply what I learned right away. This masterclass improved my ability to create dynamic and interactive online sessions. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to boost their online presentation abilities! Thanks, Said!”
Martin BarnesPitch a coach
Brandon HoeFounder + Chief Growth Engineer“I took Said's class on how to make online presentations more engaging and interesting, and I learned a lot that I could immediately apply to my work. It's clear he's truly passionate about interactive online events and virtual facilitation. I found him to be an engaging and dedicated teacher. If you're considering his workshop or hiring him to enhance your remote trainings, webinars, or events, don't hesitate—he's worth every cent of the investment.”
Kasha DougallLeapFrog“Not only does Saïd know his stuff technically but he also has a fabulous personality, which makes him an absolute pleasure to work with. I'll be back.”
JR KeyFacilitator, Key Facilitation“Thanks for the informative session. Though I use Miro regularly, you showed me some things I had wished for but didn't realize I could do with the platform, and others I hadn't considered. I look forward to using some of these game elements in future workshops.”
Martin BarnesPitch a coach, 8 Seconds 2 Connect“Said messaged me after an event and said “we need to talk about your Zoom.” I immediately booked a call. I know Said from the LinkedIn feed and events. I like him, he posts some funny quotes. And now 100% trust he knows what he’s taking about. Not only did he sort out my abbot hole zoom settings. He showed me how to upgrade my new image game with a new software. He has the patience and time to walk through the baby onboarding steps and answer the “thinking aloud” questions. He’s a real expert. If you host online events and you want to UP YOUR GAME then book a call with Said. Worth his weight in gold.”
Dennis Skinner“This class was a game-changer for me. I am now able to create workshops that deliver results AND the necessary dopamine to keep people irresistibly glued to the process. Said covers loads of great tools and tips with plenty of time to practice under the watchful eye of the master Facilitainer. I walked away with new knowledge for sure, but more importantly with a fully configured Stream Deck, OBS Studio scenes ready to use the next day, and a heaping portion of confidence without which none of the above would get used. So, unbox that Stream Deck that's been sitting on your desk mocking you, and let Said help you create visual magic to take your virtual sessions to the next level.”
Vilma Pohjonen“The best part was the inspiration and turbo-boost in innovating new facilitation methods I can use in my work life. It really showed how simple tricks can make a big difference in the participant experience. Said explains and shows everything clearly, and his excitement is contagious. I feel equipped to start my own gamified workshop experiments with confidence. Highly recommend to any creative being who wants to take their facilitation to the next level”
Sabrina“Thank you so much Said for the absolutely fantastic Masterclass! I learned lots of tips and tricks on how to use gamification elements in Miro (which I love!) and also had a really good time! (also the slow loris is enjoying his increased fame :-) I can highly recommend this session to anyone who wants to upgrade their Miro facilitation skills!”
Vinnie Gill“I'm really pleased to have found Said. I joined his online game session, which was fun, creative, engaging, and packed with inspiring tips. Said truly knows his craft and can genuinely help you elevate your skills. Having worked with remote teams and delivered training for years, I've certainly gained a lot from Said's insights. Most importantly, he's humble, generous with his knowledge, and incredibly approachable.”
Siddharta“Before I took Said's masterclass, I had only heard about OBS from watching Twitch streams. I had taken a look at OBS before, but it was just so intimidating and looked so complex. Said's masterclass (which was available at an Asia-friendly time - THANK YOU) took me step by step through the whole process. After the first session, I was already using OBS in a client training. By the end, I had a really professional-looking setup that was a lot more interesting and engaging for the participants. Not only OBS, but also using Elgato Stream Deck to coordinate everything in a professional way. This is a real zero-to-one class. With this background, I can make use of the ton of material that is available online for OBS.”

He has host some wonderfully informative and engaging events for the community, helping us elevate our OBS and Stream Deck skills to have a bigger impact as virtual facilitators. Said is very creative in the design of his sessions and brings lots of knowledge and patience for all the questions coming the audience. No matter what topic he chose to showcase, our audience always left refreshed, full of new ideas and with a little bit of awe for the magic Said creates. 😁 He also coaches and collaborates with some of our experts on tech-enhanced facilitation skills, and I would recommend his courses and consulting services to anyone looking to upskill in that area. Thank you for all your proactivity, Said, I am grateful I got the chance to work with you and I can’t wait for more collaboration opportunities!!”
