present my own workshops in a way I wouldn't have believed before I
picked up the ebook!

market yourself before, during, and after your workshop in a natural
and inviting way, so that your workshop does not become just an
infomercial for your other services.
There are examples of questions to use at any point during your
workshop to keep the flow and momentum going, and to make you feel
like you can maneuver through any inevitable glitch or surprise. I
feel like I could put together a workshop that I would be proud of by
this afternoon.

* Is your inability to deliver great workshops holding you back?
* Panicking because you just found out you have to give a
presentation or workshop?
* Need to increase your revenues or gain credibility at work?
* Do you want to naturally attract clients who will want to work
with you?
GIVING DYNAMIC WORKSHOPS THAT CREATE BUZZ AND RAVE REVIEWS DOESN\'T
HAVE TO BE A DAUNTING PROJECT....
-------------------------
Dear workshop presenter:
How much is one successful workshop worth to your business or
career? Suppose you could sit down, pull together a great workshop,
deliver it and then have clients wanting to work with you. Imagine...
one workshop bringing you new clients, referrals, and greater
credibility. It's all possible with this ready-to-go template in two
formats, that gives you confidence and saves you nerve-wracking
preparation time:
* e-book only OR
* e-book PLUS self-guided 5-hour workshop
NEVER CREATE A WORKSHOP FROM SCRATCH AGAIN.
Why reinvent the wheel? Your time is too valuable. This e-book and
5-hour audio workshop was especially designed for someone who has
never attempted a workshop before OR for someone who has been doing
workshops but wants them to be more dynamic and memorable.
Think about it. With these "turn-key" products, there isn't a lot of
thinking involved. The thinking part has already been done for you.
All you have to do is plug in your topic and follow the seven steps
and you will be ready to go.
NEVER FEAR DESIGNING AND DELIVERING A SUCCESSFUL WORKSHOP AGAIN...
* Do you get butterflies in your stomach just at the thought of
preparing for a workshop?
* Is this your first workshop or would you like to make your
workshop presentation more dynamic?
* Undecided about a workshop topic or title?
* Giving a workshop but not sure how to pull it together?
* Want to make sure your workshop has a memorable message?
* Unsure you can easily stay within the time frame allotted?
* Nervous about losing your place or forgetting your material?
Though there are a lot of books out there about how to go about
designing, delivering, and promoting training events, most of these
are lengthy, technical, and academic. In _7 Simple Secrets to
Successful Workshops_, Barb and Marion have done an exceptional job of
distilling just the essential, practical elements into a simple
roadmap that will allow you to hit the ground running. It is also very
comprehensive, virtually demystifying the process of designing and
delivering magical experiential workshops and trainings. _7 Simple

participants to provide a follow-up hands on and practical workshop. I
decided to to buy the book because I needed help on designing a
workshop.

because it provides a structure/framework that allows me to develop my
own workshops. The book definitely saved me time and energy, because
otherwise I would have had to reinvent the wheel. I've already
recommended the book to fellow colleagues who are also in the process
of developing their own workshops.

_7 Simple Secrets to Successful Workshops_ is a fabulous resource. I
have avoided putting a workshop together for over two years, for fear
of how to begin, how to put it together, how to be sure it lasts long
enough, what to say, and how to not make a complete fool out of
myself. After reading this ebook, I feel like I could put together a
workshop that I would be proud of by this afternoon. _7 Simple Secrets
to Successful Workshops_ gives you enough tips, structure, example
questions and interactive exercise ideas to get started with your own
workshops immediately. Not only does it lead you through the _how_ of
putting a successful workshop together, but it tells you the _why _--
so you really understand the rationale behind when and why to ask the
participants questions, to introduce exercises, and what kinds to use.
It offers tools for creating handouts, how to present them, workshop
set-up and structure, time management, how to research your chosen
topic and create relevant and compelling questions, exercises, and
material. It offers resources of where to go for workshop ideas,
exercise ideas, and samples of the kinds of interactive exercises
that work to make your workshop a stand-out experience for your
participants. _7 Simple Secrets to Successful Workshops_ also delves
into how to market yourself before, during, and after your workshop
in a natural and inviting way (and so that your workshop doesn't
become just an infomercial for your other services).
There are examples of questions to use at any point during your
workshop to keep the flow and momentum going, and to make you feel
like you can maneuver through any inevitable glitch or surprise. The
bonus tips offer promotional ideas, how to outline your workshop for
the best ease of use during the workshop, how to handle difficult
participants, and where to go for support while you begin to step out
into the world of public speaking.
I can honestly and eagerly say, after reading _7 Simple Secrets to
Successful Workshops_, I feel like I now have the tools to set up and
present my own workshops in a way I wouldn't have believed before I
picked the ebook up!
