90 minutes · Live online · Future Skills 101
You're only as good as your prep.
Led by Alwin Put, author of Captains of Leadership, this session is a crash course for facilitators who want to stop winging it and start preparing with purpose.
Before you book
Two minutes on what the session actually covers and who it's for.
The problem
A briefing that never becomes a real flow. A facilitator who feels calm on the outside and improvised on the inside. Most workshop prep skips straight from idea to slide deck.
Without a repeatable way to prep, every session starts from a blank page and a little bit of nerves.
Client or stakeholder input gets collected but rarely turns into an effective sequence of activities.
Facilitators are left to figure out group dynamics and their own role from instinct alone.
If you want to feel confident, calm and clear before you even open the room, this is the session that builds it.
The core idea
A 4-step framework: Framing, Building, Staging, Owning.
From Briefing to Workshop gives you a simple 4-step model for preparing any workshop with purpose, from how you frame a session with stakeholders to how you own your role in the room.
How it works
The 90 minutes are the middle. What happens either side is what makes them stick.
No pre-work worksheet. Watch the two-minute intro above if you like, then just show up ready to think about your own upcoming workshop.
Optional, before the sessionAlwin Put walks you through the 4-step model, Framing, Building, Staging and Owning, with duo and group exercises to practise briefing, building flow and risk-proofing.
