The Workshop Survival Guide: How to design and teach educational workshops that work every time
The Workshop Survival Guide: How to Design and Deliver Educational Workshops That Work Every Time offers a practical approach to creating effective, engaging learning experiences.
When you run a workshop, participants are giving you their time, attention, and trust - so it is essential to ensure they receive genuine value in return. Yet many workshops fail to achieve their intended outcomes, often lacking structure, energy, or meaningful engagement. As a result, they can feel frustrating for both facilitators and attendees.
This book shows that delivering a successful workshop does not depend on performance skills or natural charisma. Instead, it is about applying a clear and straightforward set of principles to design, structure, and facilitate the session effectively.
By focusing on thoughtful preparation and simple, reliable methods, anyone can create workshops that are productive, engaging, and consistently deliver strong results for participants.

The Creative Habit: Learn It and Use It for Life
What makes someone creative? How does someone face the empty page, the empty stage and making something where nothing existed before?
Not just a dilemma for the artist, it is something everyone faces everyday. What will I cook that isn't boring? How can I make that memo persuasive? What sales pitch will increase the order, get me the job, lock in that bonus? These too, are creative acts, and they all share a common need: proper preparation. For Twyla Tharp, creativity is no mystery; it's the product of hard work and preparation, of knowing one's aims and one's subject, of learning from approaches taken in the past. It's a process undertaken every day. It's a habit. The Creative Habit is not merely a look inside the mind of a remarkable woman with remarkable skills, but a programmatic, inspiring, encouraging guide to help each of us achieve our fullest creative potential.
