According to the World Economic Forum, critical thinking and problem-solving skills are at the top of the skills list that employers believe will grow in prominence over the next five years. But how often do we leave a workshop feeling frustrated that we haven’t achieved the intended outcome, deflated by the lack of energy or participation in the room, or annoyed that it’s been derailed by competing agendas or personalities?
Packed with handy tools, techniques and tips, this half-day interactive session will help participants design and facilitate more productive, memorable and inclusive workshop experiences, delivering high value and impact for their teams and clients.
Anyone wanting to run brilliant workshops, whether they’re new to it or looking to hone their skills with some useful tips and techniques.

While we always strive for success, failure is also a part of the startup story.
This event aims to demystify and destigmatise some of the pain points of the startup journey. The statistics about startup failures are out there, however the important stories behind these brands are not. These failures are rarely the end of a founder’s story and it’s this side (the pivot), as well as personal learnings and advice on navigating failure, that this event will explore.
Come to hear the stories, challenge the taboos and feel less scared with the word ‘failure’. Most importantly, come to find out that failing is by no means the end of the journey.
Panel:
– Lisa Matthews, COO for KETS Quantum Security previously founded HellyHolly.
– Simon Mcclive, General Manager of Labyrinth Screening at Ripjar previously founder of Gurn.
Agenda:
– Intro
– Startup story from founders
– Panel discussion
– Q&A
