Workshop Wizardry: How to run magical workshops with Mette Davis
BCI Workshop
Following the popularity of this event in September, we are delighted to be able to schedule a repeat of the workshop in January next year!
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.
With a career spanning 20+ years in the creative and tech industries, Mette has designed and facilitated hundreds of workshops for the likes of British Airways, Mars, McLaren Automotive, Barratt Developments and too many agencies to mention. She also runs workshop design and facilitation training programmes as part of her consultancy offering, driving positive change for companies, teams and individuals.
Tickets are priced at £125 +VAT for BCI members and £185 +VAT for non-members. Book your place below!
This workshop will be held at ForrestBrown, 10 Templeback, Bristol, BS1 6FL.
Bristol Creative Industries is the membership network that supports the region's creative sector to learn, grow and connect, driven by the common belief that we can achieve more collectively than alone.

Lead with Authenticity
9:00

The Square Club, 15 Berkeley Square, Bristol BS8 1HB
Networking
I already know you’re good at your job, that’s why you’re here.
You’ve spent years mastering your craft and take pride in your work.
But being a leader means more than just getting the work done.
Now, you’re expected to voice opinions, make decisions, and solve problems.
And when you’re still new to leadership, that can feel daunting.
You’ve had some great leaders in the past (and a few you’d rather not become).
Now it’s your turn. It’s time to work out how you want to lead.
This session isn’t about fixed leadership styles or corporate stereotypes. It’s about bringing your personality, values, and experience into how you show up at work.
You’ll leave with practical tools, honest stories, and fresh perspective, whether leading a team, a business or yourself.
You’ll also have the chance to meet a lovely group of peers here in the South West who are figuring it out too.
What we’ll cover:
What authentic leadership really looks like (and what it’s not).
How to build trust without pretending to be someone you’re not.
How to feel more confident in your role — even when you don’t have all the answers.
You’ll leave with new perspectives, useful tools, and a network of brilliant peers in the South West who are facing similar challenges.
