What's tough for you about building workshops?

It's likely to be one of these or more!

  • You’ve never learnt to build or deliver workshops and programmes before, but now need to as part of your role. Where do you start?

  • It takes FOREVER! And you’re overwhelmed with it all.

  • You’ve studied for an L&D qualification, which gave you plenty of theory, but didn’t help you with all of the practical elements on building engaging development that makes a difference

  • You instinctively know that a workshop or programme by itself might not be the right answer, but you don’t know what is

  • You may even have tried building and running workshops before, but they didn’t land

  • You want fresh ideas and thinking but you work by yourself

Creating learning experiences in the right way can make a lasting impact and deliver behavioural and organisational change.

It’s about getting your workshops right and also considering what else you need to have in place too.

That's where I can help!

I'm Katy, an L&D specialist with 28 years experience.

Why work with me? I’ve worked in-house as a senior L&D professional in a range of organisations including: Compare the Market, Nationwide Building Society, Thomas Cook, Eurocamp Travel and Alton Towers.

I've designed and delivered hundreds of workshops, programmes and events including:

  • Management and Leadership Development

  • Team Development and Coaching

  • High Potential Talent Development Programmes

  • Presentation Skills

  • Train the Trainer

  • Facilitation Skills

  • Influence and Impact

  • Coaching Skills programmes

I’ve seen what works and what doesn’t. Made mistakes and learnt so much about how to get interaction, commitment, engagement and results.

And I’ve distilled down that learning over the years into an easy to understand, easy to digest process which I’ll be sharing with you in full.

I now run my own development and coaching business, where along with the team, I consult, design and deliver impactful programmes and workshops for clients across a range of sectors and industries.

I also work with HR, Coaches and L&D professionals to develop them to develop others. Which is what this is all about!

How do you know that I can help?

Here’s what some participants from our Build It Quickly LIVE programme have shared:

"I now feel more confident in approaching the design and making the learning fun and impactful for participants. I feel more empowered to lead and challenge my stakeholders, and manage their expectations."

Rebecca Lewis

Leadership & Team Coach

"I thoroughly enjoyed the course, a great mixture of people, exercises and tech. It's certainly set the standard for how I want my own workshop, built well but also quickly!"

Kirsty Jordan

Head of HR

"The programme's format was perfect and the content touched on everything that I needed. I loved that I could practically build a session as I was going through, and I was able to use this just a week later."

Merrisha Gordon

Leadership Coach & Organisational Consultant

"I feel much more confident now that I have all the tools I need to develop and deliver highly valuable workshops for my clients without becoming too bogged down in the details as I prepare. With the 1:1 and additional monthly meet ups, the value from the programme just keeps coming!"

Emily Potts

Founder & Leadership Coach

"Loved your energy, openness and willingness to share all you know Katy, thank you! Resources shared as we went along were brilliant and will be my go to guide for all future training builds."

Aimee Nelson

Interim HR Manager

"Just a great course for both new and more experienced facilitators. Katy has an amazing style and using fab content and is always so generous with what she shares."

Libby Williams

Executive Coach & Facilitator

"There were many really helpful moments. I loved the chunking approach and breaking down into categories. Defining pre work as a module was (a) very helpful tip."

Nicki Crossland

Leadership Coac

"Katy - you are a born trainer... You bring everything to life and bring out the importance of all the areas we need to cover, but in a fun and practical way, where people can relate to scenarios etc..."

Sinéad Dartnell

Head of HR

"I think this course is great, just what I needed. It has really helped me to gain confidence in my ability to develop courses and to know that I am on the right track with what I am doing. This course contains many 'aha' moments and nuggets of great advice."

BUILD IT QUICKLY - FAQs

Where will the Programme run?

All of the ANYTIME content is hosted on our Learning Hub. The monthly Fired Up, Ready to Grow! collaboration sessions are on Zoom.

The LIVE programme workshop-building sessions and 1-1 session will also be on Zoom.

When will the LIVE sessions be?

The two LIVE sessions in Build It Quickly Live will take place on 21st and 28th March 2025.

How long is the Programme?

The ANYTIME content takes just under 2 hours to complete. All 20 videos are bite sized and between 3 and 13 minutes.

LIVE participants complete the ANYTIME content first, then have 6 hours of workshop building and support over 2 sessions, and an hour 1-1.

Both ANYTIME and LIVE participants can join our monthly Fired Up, Ready to Grow! 60 min collaboration sessions for ongoing support, ideas and Q&A.

I'm a coach - is this suitable for me?

Absolutely! We’ve helped many coaches who are fab at 1-1 and want to deliver workshops as an invaluable addition to their services.

How much does it cost?

The LIVE programme is £995 + VAT (£1194 total)

or you can pay in 3 x Monthly Instalments of £331.67 + VAT (£398 total per instalment, £1194 total cost)

The ANYTIME programme price is £595 + VAT (£714 total)

Will you give feedback on my build?

The LIVE programme includes a 1-1 with me and the time is yours for feedback, ideas or even to build out another workshop with you. Plus I'll be there with guidance and support during the live group sessions.

The ANYTIME doesn't include the 1-1 feedback session with me, or the support to build your workshop (but you can upgrade to LIVE after booking if you'd like to).

You can join our monthly Fired Up, Ready to Grow! collaboration sessions for feedback, ideas and tips.

Is this a Train the Trainer programme?

Our focus is on building the workshop rather than delivering it.

However, previous participants on our LIVE programme have said how much they’ve learnt through watching me in action.

Plus, there are always brilliant tips and ideas shared on the monthly Fired Up, Ready to Grow! collaboration sessions.

Do I need any previous L&D knowledge?

No! We deliberately keep it practical and step-by-step.

If you’re brand new into the world of L&D, joining our monthly collaboration sessions will really help expand your knowledge too.

Do you offer refunds?

Once you’ve accessed the learning content and started the development, refunds aren’t available if you change your mind.

However, we have a money-back guarantee if you work through the programme, implement our processes, attend collaboration sessions and still don't feel you can create your workshop!
