Group Workshops

Workshops are more than information; they’re an experience.

As producers, we approach learning the same way we approach gathering: with intention, structure, and care. These sessions are designed as experiences where participants don’t just listen, but engage, reflect, and apply what they learn.

These aren’t cookie-cutter trainings. They’re focused, thoughtfully designed spaces to think deeply, build new skills, and apply them with confidence.

  • Up to 25 participants

  • 2.5–3 hours per session

  • Includes digital templates and worksheets

  • Optional printed workbooks available

  • Offered virtually or in person (Winnipeg-based)

    Events aren’t just calendar fillers, they’re opportunities to strengthen community, inspire action, demonstrate value to funders and stakeholders, and generate revenue. This workshop helps teams design with purpose and track impact.

    Learning Objectives:

    • Define the purpose of a gathering and align it with organizational goals.

    • Identify measurable outcomes that demonstrate impact to funders, stakeholders, and the community.

    • Integrate revenue opportunities into event planning without compromising mission or audience trust.

    • Evaluate success using clear, accessible metrics tied to both financial and community goals.

    Interactive Elements: Drafting a Purpose and Outcomes Statement for an upcoming event, a group brainstorm on creative ways to measure success beyond attendance counts.

    Practical Takeaway: A draft event plan with purpose, structure, and metrics

  • Format: 3-Part Series (2.5 hours per session when delivered as a series)

    Total Time Commitment: 7.5 hours

    Accessibility isn’t one-size-fits-all. This series explores practical, real-world strategies for designing accessible gatherings across three formats: in-person, virtual, and hybrid.

    Part 1: Accessible In-Person Events

    • Identify common barriers at physical events.

    • Design low-cost, high-impact solutions.

    • Build a site-specific accessibility checklist.

    Part 2: Accessible Virtual Events

    • Recognize accessibility gaps in online spaces (captioning, screen readers).

    • Apply simple inclusion tools for virtual platforms.

    • Create a virtual event accessibility checklist.

    Part 3: Accessible Hybrid Events

    • Tackle unique hybrid challenges (equity between in-person and online attendees).

    • Map participant journeys and touchpoints.

    • Build a basic hybrid accessibility action plan.

    Interactive Elements: Scenario walkthroughs, checklist building, and small group design challenges.

    Practical Takeaways: Three customized accessibility checklists, a clear action plan, and a resource guide.

  • Duration: 3 hours

    Training is only valuable if people remember and apply what they learn. This workshop helps teams redesign their trainings with memory and meaning in mind.

    Learning Objectives:

    • Understand why people forget, and how to prevent it.

    • Learn techniques like repetition, relevance, retrieval, and reinforcement.

    • Redesign one key element of an upcoming training or orientation.

    Interactive Elements: "Bad training" role-play, live redesign of a real training agenda, and a group brainstorm: "One shift I'll make next time."

    Practical Takeaway: A redesigned training outline ready for immediate use

Testimonials

  • Erica Brown, PME, CPTD Learning & Organizational Development Program Manager Brandon University

    Last week, I had the privilege of learning from Yemilo Audu as she led a session at the MB L&D Network Conference 2025. Her thoughtful, reflective approach invites learners to look inward—to reflect deeply on their own practice and explore small shifts that, in the moment and over time, create meaningful impact.

    The depth of Yemilo’s knowledge and expertise is grounded in real-world experience in designing for transformative learning and gathering with purpose. She facilitated from a place of authenticity and clear passion for the work.

    I appreciated the clear, actionable approaches to learning design that she modeled and shared—and have already begun applying them in my own practice. I look forward to future opportunities to learn from Yemilo!
