Workshop Mastery - The art and craft of teaching what you know

The Complete Guide to Designing, Running & Teaching Powerful Workshops

Workshops aren’t just meetings where someone teaches random collections of what they know — they’re powerful places of learning, collaboration, and change.

Yet too many workshops fall flat: unclear agendas, disengaged participants, wasted time, lack of learning objectives, dull delivery.

Workshop Mastery gives you proven tools, teaching methods and communication guidance to transform your expertise into workshops that leave a lasting impression and generate real value.

Why This Book?

As a speaker and management consultant, workshops have been central to my work, as well as my joy of taking them on the road to conferences.

I’ve delivered more than 170 versions of my award-winning workshops, including my Communication Superpower Workshop — which continues to win recognition at conferences around the world and is a firm favourite with clients.
