Using the analogy of performing on stage, this guide for learning and development professionals, general managers, freelance trainers, consultants, and supervisors explains how to run effective workshops. It covers pre-workshop preparation, including how to identify what the client wants, understanding one's strengths and weaknesses, workshop design, understanding the audience and individual learning styles, icebreakers and energizers, resources like workbooks and handouts, and presentation style and environment. Covered next are strategies to use to get off to a good start, manage group dynamics, and assess and evaluate how the workshop is going, and post-workshop evaluation and keeping learners engaged afterward. Cooper, who has given workshops as an internal trainer and external consultant, has a degree in management practice and experience in leadership, training, and corporate and executive coaching.
