WorkshopMasters

Come and network, learn up to 3 tips for facilitating workshops, and hear 2 fabulous speakers. All you need to provide is your candid feedback.


WorkshopMasters, an opportunity for Entrepreneurs to pilot a piece of their workshop in front of an audience in a safe environment.  Think of it like ToastMasters for Workshop Facilitators. 

We have 2 great speakers who will deliver 30 minutes of their respective workshops and now we are looking for eager audience participants.
 
We will kickoff the evening with some informal networking followed by a learning module and then each speaker will present and will be provided feedback by the audience.  We will close the evening with lessons learned. 
As an audience participant, you will:
  • Learn up to 3 tips you can put to immediate use when facilitating your own workshops
  • Hear two fabulous Speakers, Nadia Nassif & Scott Loring  test out their respective material (check out the topics & speaker info below)
  • Learn how to give constructive valuable feedback
If you are committed to learning, interested in offering your candid and constructive feedback and looking to connect with other like-minded individuals, I invite you to join us! 
 
As I am piloting this in August & September, the evening is free of charge - I just ask that you help create the space for the workshop facilitators to shine and offer your thoughts/feedback on their talks and the overall program.

Walk-ins welcome. 
 
Everyone who attends will receive a Tip Card for creating high impact workshops and a complementary subscription to Workshop University''s periodic newsletter with tools, techniques and tips.

Workshop #2

CPR for Tough Conversations: 

Learn the Content/ Pattern/ Relationship framework to create positive and lasting change.

 

When confronting someone, we all know that the way in which we communicate is essential.  Just as important – perhaps even more vital – is identifying the exact issue you need to address.  The lens of CPR (Content /Pattern/Relationship) can provide a helpful framework to help you unbundle the conflict and focus your discussion on what matters most. 

 

Participants will learn:

- How to use the framework of CPR to sort through the elements of any conflict

- An effective lens to prioritize topics in a disagreement

- Ways to avoid having the same argument over and over
