Episode 181: What I’ve learnt from hosting 3.5 hour virtual workshops with Leanne Hughes

12 months ago, there is no way I would have committed to delivering 3.5 hour virtual workshops. I thought it was virtually impossible to keep up my own energy and engagement for that length of time.

This year however, I worked with a client on revamping our 3 day leadership program. We sliced it to 4 x 3.5 hour modules. I’ve been delivering these sessions over the last few months, and I’ve learnt a ton from the experience.

That’s what I’m sharing this week on the podcast and I’m breaking my lessons learnt into the following categories:

  • Mindset shift

  • Run sheet

  • How I re-imagined what the face-to-face event would look like as a virtual event

  • Format and logistics

  • Technology

  • Managing dynamics
