Workshops

Live, when the room is the point.

Some learning does not survive being packaged. A difficult conversation people have to practice out loud, a team that needs to disagree in front of each other, a group deciding how they will actually work — those need a room and a facilitator. We design the room with the same rigor we design a course, and then we either run it or hand it to you.

We run it · remote

Live virtual cohort

A group that moves through a curriculum together over a run of sessions, with work between them. The cohort is the mechanism: people stay because other people are expecting them, and the between-session practice is where the behavior actually changes.

  • Curriculum, session plans and facilitation by us
  • Pre-work and between-session practice, designed not improvised
  • Any cohort size, over as many sessions as the work needs
  • Recording and materials to keep
Best when the group is spread across sites
We run it · on site

In person, in your building

Half-day or full-day sessions for a unit, a cohort or a leadership group. Worth the travel when people need to practice something physical or uncomfortable, when the group has history, or when the point is partly that leadership showed up in the room.

  • Half day, full day, or a series
  • Built around your incidents and your language, not generic cases
  • Any group size — we staff facilitators to match the room
  • Materials, handouts and a written read-out afterwards
Best when the group is in one place and it's personal
You run it

Facilitator kit

We design it, your people deliver it — as many times as you like, in as many units as you have. The kit is written so that someone who is good with a room but is not a content expert can run it well, which is the hard part and the part most kits skip.

  • Facilitator guide with timings and what to do when it stalls
  • Slides, activity cards and participant handouts
  • A train-the-trainer session to hand it over
  • Evaluation instrument so each run reports the same way
Best when it has to run twenty times, not once

A workshop is a designed object too

Most live sessions are a deck and a confident person. Ours are built from the same five moves as everything else we make.

01What can't they do yetEvidenced from your own data before a session plan exists. Sometimes the answer is that a workshop won't fix it.
02One outcome per sessionStated as changed behavior. Anything that doesn't serve it comes out, however good it is as material.
03Most of the time is practiceIf people aren't doing the thing in the room, it's a presentation and could have been a recording.
04Tagged, like everything elseSessions map to the same competency framework as your courses, so live and packaged learning report together.
05Measured on outcomeWhat will you change, and what will get in the way. Not whether the room was comfortable.

Live is usually not the whole answer

A workshop is expensive per head and impossible to repeat on demand. The pattern that works is to spend the room on the part that genuinely needs people in it, and let everything else be something they can do at 11pm on a phone.

BEFOREMicrolearning units carry the knowledge, so the room doesn't have to
LIVEPractice, disagreement, decisions — the part only people can do
AFTERA tool they keep, and an evaluation that reports with everything else

What you get either way

  • Session plans with timings, not a deck
  • Activities built from your own cases
  • Participant materials worth keeping
  • An outcome-based evaluation instrument
  • A written read-out of what came up in the room

On credit

Where a live session needs to carry continuing-education credit, the documentation the accrediting body asks for is produced as part of the design, not reconstructed after the fact.
