Behind the Scenes of facilitating a Workshop for 150 People | #ADAW Ep. 01

In this episode, I share what it was really like to run a workshop with 150 people. I talk about how I prepared, what worked (and what didn’t), and what I learned from the experience. I walk you through some of the creative activities I used to get people talking and working together, along with the behind-the-scenes challenges—like handling logistics and keeping the energy up in a big group.

It’s an honest look at what it takes to lead a large-scale workshop and make it meaningful for everyone involved.

I broke down the full workshop design process in my newsletter, have a look if you’re curious :
