What do you do when everything goes wrong?

Claire and Imma have run hundreds of workshops between them.

They’ve seen the same thing happen, over and over.

A room full of smart people. A few hours together. And at the end, everyone’s had a good chat, but the real work still sits waiting for another day.

Done right, though, a workshop can condense four months of work into four hours.

In this episode of GET /Ready, Claire Barrett, Imma Valls and Olivia Osborne dig into how.

Together, we explore:

  • Why identifying what the group actually needs comes first.
  • The real difference between facilitating, presenting and training, and how mixing them up can throw a room off track.
  • How to design a session around your audience, rather than a generic agenda.

Whether you’re planning your first workshop or your 15th, this conversation is full of practical advice you can put into practice straight away.
