You've been there, trapped in your third meeting about the same feature, watching the clock tick while the loudest voices dominate and quiet experts stay silent. Another hour gone, no decisions made, and your product timeline slipping further away. These collaboration failures aren't just frustrating, they're costing your team real money. A typical 30-minute meeting with six people costs your company $700-1,600 in salary alone. Multiply that by your weekly meeting load, and you're burning thousands on conversations that go nowhere. Workshops aren't just better meetings, they're purposeful collaboration engines that drive results.Unlike standard meetings, workshops are carefully designed experiences that transform how your team solves problems, makes decisions, and builds alignment. They're the secret weapon of elite product leaders who consistently ship impactful products on time. A recent Harvard Business School study found that product teams waste 31 hours a month in unproductive collaboration, while 64% of product leaders lack effective frameworks for making complex decisions. After this course, you'll never run an ineffective product meeting again.In just 4 interactive sessions, you'll master the workshop facilitation skills that top product leaders use to:• Cut meeting time by 40% while making better decisions• Turn conflicting opinions into aligned action plans• Build genuine psychological safety where every voice contributes• Generate solutions that people actually implement Course Structure 🔹 Session 1: Workshop Fundamentals• Diagnose why your current meetings fail and how workshops solve these failures• Master the Workshop Anatomy, the blueprint behind every successful workshop• Learn the core Workshop Principles that transform group dynamics and drive engagement 🔹 Session 2: Workshop Preparation Mastery• Craft crystal-clear objectives that drive participation and results• Select and prepare exactly the right participants for maximum impact• Harness proven creative thinking techniques that work even with "non-creative" teams 🔹 Session 3: Problem Space Facilitation• Guide groups to identify the real problems hiding beneath surface issues• Facilitate productive disagreement without letting conversations derail• Transform vague challenges into concrete opportunity statements 🔹 Session 4: Solution Space Facilitation• Break through "we can't do that" thinking to generate breakthrough ideas• Run prioritisation exercises that create genuine buy-in, not just nodding heads• Convert workshop outputs into action plans that people follow through on Format &amp; Support - Learn Today, Apply TomorrowThis isn't theoretical training, it's practical mastery you'll implement immediately: 🔹 4 Live Interactive Sessions: Hands-on practice in a supportive environment with direct feedback on your facilitation 🔹 Ready-to-Use Templates: Copy-and-paste workshop designs for your next product challenge 🔹 Personal Support Channel: Direct WhatsApp/email access to me whenever you get stuck 🔹 Post-Course Implementation Review: Share your wins and troubleshoot any challenges in our follow-up session 🔹 Small Cohorts: Workshops thrive on personal attention and group dynamics, which is why I'm running small cohorts to ensure you get the hands-on practice and personalized feedback needed to master facilitation skills.
