​Confidently move ideas forward — by planning smarter, owning your theme, and driving clear decisions.

​This is not your average "how-to-sticky-note" session. Join us for a dynamic, hands-on workshop where you’ll level up your facilitation game and leave ready to plan, run, and close powerful workshops.

​In just two hours, you’ll learn how to:

• ​Plan your workshop with intention (no more awkward starts)

• ​Integrate playful, purposeful themes that energize your team (no more random prompts)

• ​Drive toward clear outcomes and ownership (no more dead-end meetings)

​You'll walk away with proven templates, cheat sheets, and a whole new confidence in your facilitation game.

​🧠 Best for: Researchers, PMs, Designers, Team Leads, and Cross-Sector Leaders who guide groups through complex decision-making processes. Folks who already know the basics and want to take things to the next level.

​🏅 Bonus: You’ll earn a medal at the finish line!

​We're offering the same workshop at two different times, to fit different time zones and circadian rhythms. Please sign up for the one that works best for you.
