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.
