"We know it's not ideal."
Yep, that's pretty much the first thing anyone says when deciding to do a hybrid workshop.
But the genie is out of the bottle — and the new normal is "some people want to be in person and some prefer remote." Until the day flights and hotels are free, a lot of our workshops are going to be hybrid.
In-person workshops work great. All-virtual workshops work pretty well.
But hybrid? Hybrid is hard.
Doing anything great is hard, though. So let's quit being frustrated and explore how to make hybrid workshops fabulous, fantastic, flawless, and (checking thesaurus) freaking awesome.
Let's learn how to love hybrid workshops. Or, at least, hate them a lot less.
How to know if this webinar is for you:
1
You're a facilitator who just wants to deliver an amazing experience for your participants and why oh why does hybrid have to be so hard and frustrating?
2
You want to put together client workshops that, you know, actually impress your clients.
3
You train internal teams, but if you hear the words, "can everyone see my screen?" one more time, you're going to lose your virtual mind.

The experience starts long before the facilitator opens their mouth.
The three keys to equal engagement
Nobody wants to feel ignored.
Keeping energy high in a hybrid world
Energizers are tough when half the group is on webcams.
Avoiding "lowest common denominator-itis"
Making things "work for everybody" doesn't have to mean making it worse.
Why a hybrid workshop is actually a magic show
Nothing's up our sleeves.
How to "see" the participants you can't actually see
