Lets get that workshop idea to fruition!
This offering is for any therapist who has an interest in running a workshop, whether directed towards the public or for peers. Although I'll be referring to "workshops" throughout, those wanting to create a presentation are also welcome.
On top of being a way to get your name out there and generate additional revenue, workshops are an opportunity to build community and consolidate and deepen your own knowledge. They're a way to quickly share important ideas about a specialty topic. Believe it or not, they can also be fun, even if you don't identify as the type of person to present.
Whether shifting from contemplation to planning or from planning to action, we can run into all kinds of internal and external challenges when designing a workshop.
These can include:
Defining the workshop and its goal
Gauging whether it's worth doing
Structuring the content
Hashing out the logistics of running it on the day of
Confidence (in yourself, in your expertise, in the value of your topic...)
Marketing effectively
Workshop Your Workshop will be an opportunity to collaboratively address these challenges. Since we'll be benefiting from one another's input, all levels of experience with running workshops are welcome!
Structure:
Brief introduction to your practice, your workshop and your roadblock
Review of some basic ideas related to creating a workshop
Group discussion of roadblocks
Light snacks and refreshments will be served.
