Join us to design and lead experiences that inspire

It’s back! On May 1st - 2nd in Denver, CO we’re hosting another rendition of our Studio Session: Design and lead experiences that inspire. It’s a two-day course about the nuts and bolts of hyper-intentional experience design and facilitation.

What you can expect

This experience is designed to be highly practical, challenging (in a good way), and downright fun! You can expect to:

Design something real and relevant to your work:
You’ll bring your own design challenge and take it to the next level.

Practice and get real-time feedback:
Learn the most essential facilitation methods and refine your ability to guide and inspire. 

Lead with authenticity:
Reflect on your facilitation style and what makes it uniquely powerful.

This experience is for you if…

You frequently design and lead meetings, retreats or gatherings for your teammates and collaborators at work.

You are an experienced facilitator looking to level-up your practice with coaching from your peers.

You want to set the conditions for others to do their best, most creative thinking.

You want the time and space to hone your own unique facilitation style.

You crave the chance to workshop a real challenge with a cohort of people who might experience something similar in their work.

Past attendees said...

"I appreciated the opportunity to ‘sprint’ on a real project we were working on and receive feedback from a community of other facilitators. I'm walking away with specific strategies and mindsets that will help me be a more authentic facilitator."

Ashle’ Tate, Regional Director of Mid-Atlantic Programs
Generation Teach

Jack Becker, Founder and Principal
Grounded Solutions

“I came in with a very, very loose framework for my experience. By the end of the workshop, I had transformed that into an in-depth agenda with objectives, key activities, a more purposeful lens for why I would ‘get out of the conference room’ and a neat idea for prototyping.”
“I’m taking with me a community of people I feel like I can reach out to, tangible tools and resources I feel like I can use in my everyday work (like how to ask sharp questions and manage group dynamics), and ideas that I‘m excited to implement."

Jess Fuller, Senior Director of System Partnerships & Operations
RESCHOOL

“I'm left reminding myself that growth and unlock come easier when you're in a psychologically safe social environment and given a lovely space to work things out.”

Bianca Van Der Meulen, Founder
Lean Solopreneur

Richard Maez, Executive Director
Ednium

“Franklin Street was so authentic in their process and seeing them facilitate ‘the why’ behind their design made each activity feel very intentional.”

Elizabeth Harbaugh, Director of Climatarium
Lyra Colorado

“The workshop was a really helpful space to spur creativity and break out of the standard methods that I have been using.”

FAQ

The connections and community across the group are a huge part of the experience. You’ll get to know each others’ work and offer feedback and support throughout. To that end, we ask that folks only join us if they can commit to 2 full days (9-5 pm). There will also be an optional happy hour on May 1st for those interested in a little extra time to socialize.

This opportunity will only be available in-person in Denver, CO.

Yes! We think there's a real benefit to experiencing the Studio Session as a team. You might consider registering together, or if your team is greater than ~4 people, check out this more customized option. Email us at [email protected] and we'll set up a time to talk more about what you're looking for.

Our aim is to bring together a balanced and diverse cohort, representing a wide range of perspectives and experiences. The application is the only step in the process, and should take ~20m to complete it. There are three chapters to the application: 1) About you, 2) Your facilitation experience (video submission recommended) 3) Availability & payment method.

About the video submission: To better capture your unique story, in chapter 2 we’ve included an opportunity for you to share more about yourself in video or audio form. We’re not looking for a polished performance or audition. We're hoping that it's a lightweight way to share a genuine glimpse into your motivations for joining this experience. Hearing your voice adds a personal touch and helps us better understand you and your aspirations.

We're reviewing applications on a rolling basis. After submitting your application, you can expect to hear back from us within ten days.
