Let's face it. Designing engaging live online sessions can feel overwhelming.
Ever found yourself staring at the clock, realizing you’ve spent the entire morning trying to draft an agenda for your next workshop or webinar?
You've likely spent hours wrestling with questions like:
- What’s the best way to kick things off?
- When’s the best time for a breakout?
- How much content should I include?
- How can I keep it fresh and interesting?
- How am I going to fit everything in?
The choices seem endless.
Here's the problem. When you don't make sound design choices, you can throw your whole session off.
You end up struggling to keep the group's energy up.
And no matter what you do it feels like an uphill battle to get participants to speak up and contribute.
It’s exhausting, isn’t it? You pour your heart, soul -- and countless hours -- into preparing your session. Only to find engagement isn’t where you want it to be.
If this scenario feels all too familiar, you’re certainly not alone. It’s plagued online facilitators since the start of Zoom. And I’ve been right there with you.
It doesn't have to be that way...
Say goodbye to overwhelm.
❌ You don't need the stress of facing a blank page when putting your session design together.
❌ You don't need to spend more precious hours trying to cobble together tips & tricks you've found on the internet.
❌ You don't need to manually go through a list of possible activities that may or may not work.
What you need is a ✨repeatable and reliable✨ design process.

Hi, I’m Gwyn Wansbrough
I’m an online facilitator and course creator who has spent 1000s of hours on Zoom - literally!
When I switched my training practice online 4 years ago I was desperately looking for a framework for designing online sessions. But I couldn’t find one. So I had to patchwork a million tips and tricks together. It took me ages!
Live Session Magic teaches you the step-by-step framework that I’ve honed over the past 4 years. It’s been test run with over 1500 professionals. It’s become the backbone of my online business. It’s what has led me to become a LinkedIn “Top Facilitation Voice” and a go-to expert for companies like Session Lab, Circle, and StreamAlive.
With Live Session Magic I want to make it easy for you to amplify your influence and impact by leading top-notch live online experiences with ease.
Let me help you get reviews like these:

This framework is so helpful. It helped me run my live monthly community calls while I was out of town. Without it, I would have canceled the call because it took so long to prep. Not this time! I pulled out the template and designed the whole session 1 hr before the call. And it worked!
