As a trainer, one of the most exciting parts of working on a book is developing instructional materials based on the content and leading workshops to help put the ideas into practice. Over the past six months, I have been developing and piloting workshops on self-care and we-care as part of the leadership development training I do.

the most powerful evidence of it happening is when our active role as designers/facilitators becomes invisible.

The major problem or block to using visualization is that many people think drawing is just for artists and if you can’t draw well, than you shouldn’t bother to do it.

Still a perfect venue for cultivating sponsorships, you can offer creative rewards like a mention in the event credits or, for an extra high touch, offer breakout rooms to mimic backstage VIP passes to meet and greet the artists.
