I already got the Workshop book and the Facilitation Guide and they are wonderful!!! Thank you again for this valuable assets.

[Thankful]

Thank you for the explanation. Our township recently hosted a 'workshop' on solar power, however, it was more of a presentation or seminar. Our supervisor decided a workshop falls under meetings and made himself in charge. Many residents are upset at what they perceive as an abuse of power. I am just trying to learn proper procedure going forward.

I just suscribed to a subject at design school called "Multimedia Workshop" and I didn't even know what a workshop is, 'till now. Thank you guys!

I came here to learn about what a workshops is. I am a medical resident of public health and my professor for health promotion gave students an assignment to make a workshop but hasn't explained what a worksop is. I guess she excpects as to use a workshop as a means to promote healthy habbits, or inform certain groups of people about certain aspects of health. I'm wondering can a workshop as defined in this video be used in such a manner? If I already know information I want to pass on to the group, then .... I have to design a problem? and make sure the group makes the right decision(s)? Does that make sense for a workshop?

[shenna]

Can you also do a video to teach us how to give and receive design feedback? Thank you so much!

I'd love to hear how you approach a company who has never done a real live online workshop ( meeting on steroids with Miro) maybe using a JTBD way of thinking.

Maybe something like a 2022 year quarter 1 kickoff 🤔 around XYZ or other....? / thxs
