👋Oh, hey there!
You have an amazing idea for a short, punchy, workshop.
You really want to get started and build it, market it!
But you just haven’t got round to it yet…
Let’s spend four weeks together, going beyond the pages of The 2-Hour Workshop Blueprint to make your workshop the best, damn, thing ever, and something you’re incredibly proud to showcase, host, and share with the world.
Imagine if you had fresh eyes on your workshop run sheet, and an annoying person (like Leanne) checking in with you, to see if you made progress?
I've been brainstorming a next step program for readers who have read my new book The 2-Hour Workshop Blueprint, but want further accountability, community and x-factor ideas.
You may want:
X-factor ideas to really bring your content to life (cue the confetti 🎊🎊🎊).
Have accountability to create your run sheet and feedback on what you create.
A supportive environment to rehearse how you give instructions for your specific activities.
To hang out and be surrounded by awesome people, who want to make their experiences as epic as possible.
A critique for your workshop sales page or invitation letter.
… and that’s where I (and The 4-Week Workshop Sprint) is here to help!
📚🚴 After completing 335 days in a row of Peloton workouts, I started asking myself this question: What if a learning experience could be like a Peloton workout?*
I’m obsessed with Peloton and it’s because there’s a big community element, and challenges that are gamified that encourage me to show up, every day, and I want to bring some of that accountability into this program, to help you out.
*Disclaimer: Unfortunately, this program is in no way affiliated with Peloton
What we’ll cover together:
We will make the key elements of The 2-Hour Workshop Blueprint come alive for you and your topic.
Here’s what you will create during our time together and every step along the way, I’ll be there to provide feedback, or be a sounding board (as will your fellow Workshop Sprinters!)
Your signature workshop framework
A completed SPARK run-sheet, outlining your topic + any key resources you feel will amplify/bring the topic to life (this may or may not includes slides, a canvas, etc)
A great name for your workshop
A complete invitation/sales page to promote your workshop offering
You’ll also have the opportunity to rehearse activity instructions out loud, and given feedback
This is not a walk in the park…
This is a workshop sprint (high intensity learning experience)
Pre-requisites:
You have a copy of The 2-Hour Workshop Blueprint because we will be referencing this in the program.
You have a topic and audience in mind for your workshop (yes, you may bring a session you’ve already developed, if you want ideas to enhance it, or convert it to in-real-life or virtual, otherwise we can start from scratch)
You commit to:
Either attending our weekly call live, or listening/watching the replay within 3 days
Completing your weekly missions by the deadline. This gives me, and your crew members, time to provide our thoughts and feedback. I am bringing in weekly deadlines/check-ins for this reason: The goal is to stop overthinking and to make progress — Submit what you have, iterate, and move forward.
By the way: This is the first LIVE program I’m delivering, and moving forward, it will be on-demand.
Every recording will be released via video and private podcast, so that you can listen on the go.
Because of the personalised support I’ll be giving, I am limiting this program to 16 people.
Here’s the irony with the work that we do:
We’re usually working ALONE when we design for GROUP experiences!
Last month before hosting a big conference, I shared my workshop run-sheet with a friend in Europe. He promptly told me to cut half of it out and said I was trying to cram too much in.
As I looked at it with fresh eyes, I realised: He was right!
Even though too much information is a pet hate of mine, I fell in the trap, eek!!
I think some of the reason we tend to overthink parts of our workshop design, is because we’re too caught up in it…
Sometimes you just need someone to validate/talk to about your workshop approach and plan.
Sometimes, if you’re like me, you just need someone on your case, helping you to keep this up as higher priority, with everything else going on in your life!
Workshop Sprint: Focus Areas

Let’s create your workshop sales page / invitation letter, to build excitement for your session.
More about the first, ever, live 4-Week Workshop Sprint
Who is this for? Who is this not for?
This is designed for anyone looking to enhance their workshop design skills. It's perfect for both beginners and experienced professionals seeking to take their workshop game to new heights.
However, if you're solely seeking generic content or passive learning, or ticking and flicking, this program may not be the right fit. This is about committing, and helping you take action.
Because of the personalised support, high-touch support and feedback I’ll be giving, I am limiting this program to only 16 people.
Tell me more about the format?
The 4-Week Workshop Sprint officially runs 7 August 2023 (when the forum opens and pre-work starts) til 12 September 2023.
Example:
From 7 August, I’ll provide a learning module and share that week’s mission for you to submit to me on 13 August. I’ll review your work, and provide feedback to you directly, as well as share key insights/prompts from across all submissions on 15 August. On that call, you’ll receive the next mission.
If you’re unable to make the call, you’ll receive an email about the mission for the week, and access to the recordings.
This is a high touch, interactive program that combines weekly live Zoom calls (approx 60-90 mins) with recordings and responses to your questions via the community chat forum. Each week, on the live call, you’ll receive deep dive teachings on the concepts, and information on your next weekly mission.
You will be given deadline dates to submit your work, and I will review/provide feedback to you personally, and share highlights on the calls as well.
All recordings are available on a private podcast, so that you can listen on the go.
Why should I join The 4-Week Workshop Sprint?
I don’t want to convince you to do anything! In fact, this program appeals to you if you’re a jump-out-of-your-seat, I WANT TO DO THIS type of person. It’s the same reason I joined Alan Weiss’ Book Sprint last year - I wanted a quick way to get out of my own head, and some accountability, to help me make the changes in my life! You need to have that level of excitement before joining, as it will help get you through the weekly missions/deadlines.
This is also the first time I’m running a program like this, where I will be going through your work and giving each of you individual feedback as you go. In the past with group sessions, there hasn’t been an accountability part much like this.
I’m going to see how well this takes off, but most likely, I’ll have to limit to 16 people, so that I can give your work the attention it deserves.
My strength is probably giving you an x-factor idea, something out of left-field to make your session come to life, as well as looking at overall structure and flow.
If you’re comfortable, you can also share your weekly mission with peers (depending on group size, we might have mini groups of 3-4 people).

About your host: Leanne Hughes
I’m really into personal development (I studied Business and Psychology) and started a podcast called First Time Facilitator. 200 episodes later, I feel like I’ve finally graduated from being a First Time Facilitator and can’t wait to share my ideas with you (#1 Ideation here!). I love seeing people actually learn a lot and have an amazing experience. You’ll see on this page, I’ve recently written a book called The 2-Hour Workshop Blueprint: Design Fast. Deliver Strong. Without Stress.
In 2021 I was awarded the Asia Pacific Learning Professional of the Year award and I’ve been lucky enough to deliver workshops all across Australia, Canada, France, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Mongolia, Papua New Guinea and Singapore…and even cast the net wider for groups via Zoom from the comfort of my own home in Brisbane, Australia.
