What does it really take to create a workshop that changes lives?
You may think you need a little more before you’re ready—a little more knowledge, confidence, experience, or time. But creating a workshop that truly makes a difference asks for something different.
Not more information.
Not another certification.
Not having all the answers (or being the expert).
Not waiting until you feel completely ready.
Not being responsibility for everyone’s growth.
It’s about learning to create the conditions where people can learn, change, heal, and grow—and becoming the kind of leader who can bring those conditions to life.

Grow your confidence and capacity as a leader.
Develop the presence, self-awareness, and facilitation skills to lead authentically and respond naturally to what happens in the room.
Bring your work to the people who need it.
Clarify who your workshop is for, communicate its value, and develop a sustainable way to invite people into your work.
Continually grow through practice, reflection, and community.

the Masterclass Curriculum
What We'll Explore in the Masterclass
Why do some workshops lead to meaningful, lasting change, while others leave people with good information but little that actually changes?
In this private Masterclass, we’ll explore what makes transformational learning different—and the conditions that allow it to happen.
Here's what you'll learn:
01
TRANSFORMATION
What really makes a workshop transformational?
Discover the essential conditions that allow people to learn, change, heal, and grow.
02
DESIGN
How do you design for experience and discovery?
Explore how to help your participants learn through their own direct experience rather than simply receiving more information.
03
LEADERSHIP
How do your presence and self-awareness shape what happens in the room?
Understand why who you are and how you show up can be as important as what you know.
04
POSSIBILITY
What could this look like in your own work?
See what these principles can look like whether you’re imagining your first workshop or deepening workshops you already lead.
05
MOVING FORWARD
What might be keeping you stuck or waiting?
Recognize some of the beliefs and patterns that can keep workshop leaders from moving forward—and the shifts that can open new possibilities.
The application will take you just a few minutes, and we read every one of them.
THE BROADER ECOSYSTEM
What's Behind the Masterclass?
This private Masterclass grows out of our book and yearlong online facilitator development program, Bring Your Workshop to Life!
A Little About Our Yearlong Program...
In our yearlong, online program, we bring together the essential elements of designing, marketing, and leading transformational workshops through a self-paced curriculum, live practice and support, a community of fellow workshop and retreat leaders, and practical tools and resources.
It’s designed to:
give you the space to practice, experiment, and reflect
grow at a rhythm that works for you
develop your workshop and your own authentic way of leading
connect with a community that supports and learns alongside you
learn how to bring your workshop to the people who need it
At the end of the Masterclass, we’ll tell you more about Bring Your Workshop to Life! and how you can continue to work with us if it feels like a good fit. There’s no obligation to enroll.
"A facilitator friend recommended Designing & Leading Life-Changing Workshops. I read it. Then I read it again. And I read it one more time. It was the missing link for what I wanted to accomplish—it provided heart and structure."
"Independent of who I was or who I thought I was, I am evolving in ways that I never imagined possible."
“Participating in the LCW Programs has truly been a life-changing experience, not only with regard to how I teach, but more importantly, how I show up in the world on a daily basis—seeking to offer my presence as a gift.”
The application will take you just a few minutes, and we read every one of them.
