The Anatomy of an Engaging Workshop

"All the content was super insightful, useful, and practical. I love how Tomomi taught us the concepts and actually modeled what she was teaching!" – past workshop attendee

You have ideas that you want to share with the world. You want more people to engage with your content. You’ve delivered a talk or two (or ten!) and dream of people coming together to explore your topic in greater depth.

Facilitating a workshop is a great way to do just that. Workshops provide the opportunity for participants to get hands-on with your content and apply it to their work and lives. If you’ve done the work of developing concepts and narratives for a 40-60 minute talk, that’s more than enough material to design a workshop. Bonus: your design and research skills will come in handy.

Join us to learn the anatomy of an engaging workshop.

In this two-hour workshop, you will:

• Develop your eye to see the invisible arc of a workshop experience
• Gain clarity on the kind of experience that you want to create
• Understand how to work with learning objectives and constraints
• Learn how to balance content delivery and activities (and not overload the agenda!)
• Identify feedback loops that would accelerate your own learning

This event is for you if you have:

• Experience being in different kinds of workshops, training, and events as a participant
• Some facilitation experience or familiarity with leading meetings
• A set of developing ideas that you’d like to turn into a workshop (optional)
