workshops work

As a workshop facilitator, you set the stage for success or failure of professional gatherings. It is in your hands whether the group achieves its goals, whether it translates challenges into solutions.

It is a lot of responsibility to create safe space, integrate all participants and keep discussions on track and time despite differing personalities and hidden agendas. In my weekly show, I interview experts on their techniques that make workshops work.

We share hands-on advice, best practices and lessons learned. You will learn about moments of truth and failure, what can go wrong and how to deal with it when it happens.

You can also subscribe to the show on iTunes or Spotify.
