Forget trying to be the star. Your goal? Make your main stakeholder look good.
Before the workshop:
- Ask: "What's your definition of success?"
- Explore their dream outcome
- Find out what impresses their boss "When will your boss think - Wow, this was great!"
During the workshop:
- Ask them to support you if things go off track
- Involve them: "I think this is valuable. Should we continue this discussion?"
- At the end, check if results meet expectations - so you can still adjust
Why it works:
- Workshops become more valuable for them
- You'll become their go-to facilitator in the future
- Their success = Your success
The more you help them shine, the better your workshops will go.
