Looking At Training Differently

Your workshop is made up of:
- 3 x 90-minute live virtual episodes. These are the first 3 steps along the journey of designing and facilitating impactful training. (Phase 1)
- 2 x full days of face-to-face training where we'll continue your training journey. (Phase 2)
It'll look something like ...

Your training is not a sit back and watch type of training - it's a roll up your sleeves and get designing workshop - So I ask you to come with one of your own workshops in mind so that you can work on it, applying new ideas to it during our time together. It can be a workshop that you need to create or one that you think would benefit from a little redesigning.
I'm looking forward to starting to work with you in the virtual world of MS Teams on Monday, 14 September 2026 for 'Separating the Need-to-Know content from the Nice-to-Know content'.

Your Live Virtual Training Modules
So that you get the most from our time together, can I ask you to keep your webcams on throughout your virtual training and continually participate. Don't worry, I'll never put you on the spot or ask you something without giving time prior to consider your possible response.
Below is a short video I thought you might find useful in terms of preparing for the virtual part of your workshop.
