Description

You already know how to run a meeting. But designing a workshop that actually delivers is a whole other challenge.

The Workshop Workshop is spydergrrl’s framework for designing and facilitating workshops that do real work.

In this live 4‑hour session, you’ll walk through the full lifecycle of workshop creation, from strategic planning and thoughtful design to facilitation and follow‑through; you’ll actively practice designing workshop activities and structures you can apply to your next real session.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Set and shape realistic goals for a session.
  • Choose the right participants to get useful discussion, not noise.
  • Select the best type of session to generate the outputs you need.
  • Design activities that produce decisions and tangible outcomes (instead of just picking exercises and hoping for the best).
  • Package results in a format your stakeholders will actually use.
  • Incorporate AI to help with workshop design (and where to avoid it)

We’ll work through real examples, build reusable templates, and break down what separates an engaging, effective session from a forgettable one.

This session is for:

  • Facilitators.
  • UX leads.
  • Product leads.
  • Team coaches.
  • Anyone who wants to sharpen how they design, sequence, and debrief workshops.

Next cohort: TBD.
