Workshops

A diverse group of people at a conference or workshop, smiling and holding microphones, posing in front of a presentation screen that reads 'The Art of Powerful Presentations' with the subtitle 'Elevating Your Game'.

Short, focused workshops designed to add energy, connection, and practical skill-building to meetings and teams.

These 60–90 minute workshops are designed to stand on their own or be added to a meeting, retreat, or professional development agenda.

They offer a practical way to introduce new ideas, build skills, and create meaningful interaction without a full-day commitment or extensive customization.

Rather than lecture-style training, these sessions are interactive, discussion-driven, and grounded in real-world scenarios. My role is to facilitate participation, guide the room, and create moments where people can immediately apply what they experience.

How to Make Training STICK

Design learning experiences that lead to real retention and follow-through
