Mind Food | Masterclass

One of my favourite sessions to conduct is a workshop. Bringing together the collective intelligence of a group not only ignites the team but it allows leaders to see who is performing, who is contributing and who needs a little extra attention.

But there is much more to it. Each time I facilitate a workshop there is no option but to bring my absolute A-game. It’s challenging to stand in front of a group and harness their ideas, question their perspective while simultaneously giving them the tools to level up.

Running workshops drive me to learn more, give more and be a better communicator. The gift of knowledge makes you and your team stronger. Leaders who hold knowledge, pretending it is power are insecure and a burden to your business.

Yoda summed it up the best: 

Have you every been to a workshop, where it’s (slow) death by power point slides?….how is your energy? How is the engagement in the room? A poorly run workshop can make you feel as if your first grade teacher is running their nails across the chalkboard.

During my time working with MasterChef, I used to love the Masterclass session by Gary Mehigan & George Calombaris. We ran a creative workshop prior, testing and fine tuning the content prior to filming. The depth of knowledge was exceptional. The delivery – perfect. 

Even as a professional there was always more to learn…I can only imagine what the viewers took away from each class. 

In Japan, some of the top businesses follow a philosophy of Kaizen, which translates to constant, continuous improvement. This is a mindset that can be applied in many areas.

What masterclasses are you doing to empower your team and grow your people?
