Whether workshops are your whole world or just a small part, this book will equip you with the tools to design and run a brilliant session, every time, with no stress or drama. And you won't even need to turn into a charismatic superstar to make it happen.

Folks tend to think a successful workshop is all about the facilitation (which does matter, and we'll cover that too), but the real magic is in the design you do ahead of time. It's a simple process that anyone can learn, and which will get you to the real goal: a happy, smiling audience who walks away with more than they arrived with.
