About the webinar
In this webinar, Dr Penny Pullan gives insights into how to achieve lasting results together through in-person, virtual, and hybrid workshops.
Do you need to be a project or program manager to manage effective meetings and workshops?
Would you like to feel confident working alongside diverse groups and senior leaders?
Do you want to work together and deliver lasting results, no matter what the environment?
Many program and project managers don’t have any training in facilitation skills, but they are more in demand in this age of virtual and hybrid work.
This workshop will discuss the process of creating and delivering engaging, well-run, and effective sessions. It starts with an idea and continues through careful preparation and running them smoothly, despite the inevitable difficulties.
We will discuss design for virtual, hybrid, and in-person workshops. We will also explore how to make it more likely that actions occur as a result. This webinar will also use aspects of neuroscience, socio psychology, and facilitation theory to explain how all this happens.
You will leave with tips and ideas that you can immediately use to improve your program or project workshops, meetings and meetings. We hope you also have an understanding of how they work and a curiosity to learn more about workshops.
