Workshop Wizardry: How to design and facilitate brilliant workshops

According to the World Economic Forum, critical thinking and problem-solving skills are at the top of the skills list that employers believe will grow in prominence over the next five years.  But how often do we leave a workshop feeling frustrated that we haven’t achieved the intended outcome, deflated by the lack of energy or participation in the room, or annoyed that it’s been derailed by competing agendas or personalities?

Packed with handy tools, techniques and tips, my half-day interactive session helps you design and facilitate more productive, memorable and inclusive workshop experiences, delivering high value and impact for your teams and clients.

Course content includes:

  • Benefits of good facilitation and the role of the facilitator

  • Workshop Wizardry – three stages to running a magical workshop

  • Tailoring activities to embrace the diverse learning styles, experiences and needs of participants

  • Useful tools and techniques for different types of workshop

  • What to do when things don’t go to plan

  • Practical exercise to put what you’ve learnt into practice

  • Workshop Wizardry top tips

If you’re looking to hone your workshop design and facilitation skills, I offer Workshop Wizardry in three different formats:

  • In-house, where we can tailor the content and brief to your company and specific needs

  • On a delegate basis, with participants from different companies working together

  • On a 121 basis, where I work closely with individuals who want to improve their skills and/or might have a specific session they’re working towards that they need help with

Pricing depends on format and size of business.

“ Mette’s energy, enthusiasm, and wealth of experience in running workshops is hugely valuable to anyone wanting to build their confidence in workshop facilitation.
