I love facilitating workshops! Extended time means we get to get personal.
By that I mean, I can spend more time with individuals, discussing their specific concerns and scenarios. This is when real learning and post-program application can occur.

My workshops are different to what your team may have experienced in the past...

Within the first 15 minutes, learners will know and feel they are in a safe space. It is safe to ask questions, make comments and simply be their real selves.

There’s no ‘death by PowerPoint’. I prefer to use flip charts which are dynamic and allow me to work with the group, rather than preach at them.

My workshops are more like conversations than lectures.

We laugh, talk and learn together.

I listen not only with my ears, but also with my eyes. And I will ‘say what I see’ – privately and one-on-one if that is the most appropriate.

There’s no theory for the sake of it. The question I will always provide the answer for (even when it’s not asked) is “So what? What can I do differently now that I know that?”

I firmly believe the time spent in a workshop is wasted unless people take action on what they have learned. I tell the group this, charging them with the responsibility to not waste their time and energy (and the organisation’s money).
