You've felt it, right?

There’s a subtle disconnect between what most workshops claim to be about, and how they actually feel.

I help facilitators design and host workshops that actually practice the values they talk about.

Most people don’t come here looking for “better engagement”
(although that’s a welcome side-effect!)

They come because something feels off and they don’t have language for it yet.

Maybe you’ve noticed:

Your workshops don’t “feel like you” – you’re not sure how to infuse your uniqueness.
You have tons of ideas but no clear thread holding them together – it feels chaotic/not cohesive.
You keep tweaking your outline/agenda but it still doesn’t quite click – it feels like something’s missing.
You often zone out during typical lecture-style “workshops” – you don’t want people to feel that way during yours

This work starts before templates.
Below tactics.
Beyond “best practices.”

It starts by getting oriented to the world a workshop is rehearsing.

Ways to explore this work:

You don’t need to start anywhere specific.
Go where you feel pulled.

Name what's actually happening:

“Low engagement” is rarely the real issue.

This essay traces how the root problem shows up loooong before a workshop even starts.

remember what is possible:

For when the world you want to build feels too far away, and you need some encouragement to keep going with the work.

I first wrote this just for me, but figured you might like a pep talk too.

What kind of world do you want to live in?

Read-along, or just listen as I introduce you to three factions with wiiildly different dreams for our collective future. Set in the year 2045.

Let's Dream together?

Want a week with me to clarify what kind of workshop will make the future you long for more likely to happen?

We’ll go deep on one Worldbuilding Element and brainstorm how to make a workshop rooted in your dreams and values, not just your IP.

A one-page tool to diagnose what's missing in your workshop

…or quickly spot where you’re over-relying on one “quadrant” (like ‘Decisive’: tons of lecture and Q&A)!

The compass’ll help you play with more balanced, energizing choices that lead to workshops that feel as good to lead as they do to attend.

Choose your own price: $20, 35, or 50 CAD.

Hi! I'm Amber 👋🏽

Here, we explore enchanting workshop design, so you can create experiences you’re proud to invite people into.

I help solopreneurs design workshops that are meaningful (and fun!) introductions to their vision for the world.

Workshops that are:
true to your personality & values
inclusive of & adaptive to the people in the room
engaging, interesting, & memorable
transformative for attendees

I’m all about moving away from “workshops” modelled after the style of dusty ol’ professors, culty marketing bros, and robotic corporate CEOs who love the sound of their own voices.

Why are overly-intellectualized lectures or shiny sales pitches the current defaults?

Revolutionary workshop experiences can subtly shift the culture of our society.

I’ve drawn lessons from a lifetime of teaching and reading speculative fiction, to build a framework for worldbuilding… specifically for workshops.

Workshops are perfect opportunities to worldbuild: bite-sized chances to imagine and practice the future we’re fighting for. They’re spaces where ideas come alive, where people can feel the revolution they’re striving for.

The future doesn’t have to wait.
Let’s make it tangible, right now.
