Productivity and Wellbeing - 2-day classroom training

Are online workshops a good idea?

Classroom training is the deepest form of learning productivity. First, it allows participants to “unplug” from their daily work, look at it from a different perspective and have much deeper reflection. It is also a very deep interpersonal experience where participants learn extensively from each other.

However, this form requires 10-16 participants to be physically present at the same location for 2 days of the workshop. This may be too much for smaller companies, very busy schedules or highly distributed teams. In this case, series of shorter online workshops or series of webinars may be a better choice.

It is a transformative experience, usually organized on Thursdays and Fridays to allow additional reflection time during the following weekend. And because we want to focus on forming the right long-term habits, participants have a month of follow-up period, they can ask questions and we can organize a live Q&A session. We will find the right combination to maximize the potential of this workshop.

Highly Interactive Learning

We work in a small group of 10-16 people. All participants are engaged. It’s highly dynamic learning experience by working in sub-groups, discussions and knowledge sharing.

Effective

Before every workshop we perform needs analysis, so that we cover all the best and most practical productivity techniques in one place. Participants can later share them in their teams or with wider audience.

Support after the workshop

It’s not only 2-day live workshop, but also online support for a month after the training took place. Let’s ensure maximum possible outcome.

Focused on Habits

Habits are what counts long-term. We focus on learning the theory and practicing it, but the priority of learning remains the same - to build the right, long-term habits.

FAQ

Will it be customized for us? And not some generic template?
‍
Every workshop is customized. Also because the group is small and the work is very dynamic, it’s different every time - every group form a different experience. It’s not a presentation, it’s highly interactive workshop. It’s also a very transforming experience, because of the intensity and interpersonal aspect.
Is there something for teams, or just for personal productivity?

Every workshop uses a combination or personal and team productivity techniques. We can discuss where we should put more focus - some companies want to focus mostly on team productivity, while other prefer to focus on personal productivity and well-being first.
