Workshops That Work

Welcome back to The 2x2 - the ultimate newsletter for independent consultants! This week, it’s all about setting you up for success.

Get ready for a double dose of awesomeness in this week’s email:

1. How to Run a Workshop

Ready to upgrade your online workshop from good to great?

Consultants share their tips and insights with their audiences through workshops. And to make sure that our workshops are impactful and engaging, we have a checklist:

  1. Define your objectives. Know your target audience and set goals.

  2. Develop the best content. Make your slides more engaging with the right media.

  3. Plan interactions. Icebreakers will get the audience to participate.

  4. Test your technology. Have a dry run of the workshop to check for technical issues.

  5. Promote your event. Send invites and reminders to your audience.

  6. Share recordings and materials. Audiences want access to the materials if they miss the workshop.

  7. Ask for feedback. Comments and suggestions from attendees improve future workshops.

A successful online workshop is an organized one, so make sure to prepare and do your best!

2. Sometimes, All You Need is Inspiration

Don’t ever settle for being stuck.
