Have you ever been invited to a ‘workshop’ in your career that didn’t have the characteristics of a real workshop?

In this fake workshop, a long presentation was given and discussed endlessly. In the end, the participants left the room without any results.

Fake workshops waste participants’ time because they are not actively involved in solving problems as they would be in a real workshop.

The participants’ potential to achieve better results through collaboration remains unutilised. This leads to a waste of resources, higher costs and a lack of motivation to tackle the challenges.

A real workshop is interactive and collaborative, i.e. the participants actively work together, exchange ideas and develop solutions together.

The ‘Thumbs up for your workshop’ course helps you to avoid mistakes when planning and running workshops. Including practical checklists to help you apply what you have learnt effectively.

• At the end of the course, you will have the skills to run a successful workshop.

• The course is aimed at professionals who develop services and products in group work.
