Workshop Formats: Detailed Run of Show
Every workshop is built around your event, your team, and your goals. Here are two popular formats. Each runs 45 minutes, with a 60-minute option that adds deeper Treasure Map work, more partner coaching, and more facilitated conversation. Workshops can stand alone, pair with the keynote as breakouts, or expand into a half or full day.
From Someday to Action: Turning What Matters Into a Plan
0 to 5 min | Reconnect and activate. Participants revisit the core idea of Make Someday Today and choose one meaningful personal or professional “someday” to work on.
5 to 12 min | Build the Treasure Map. A fast guided exercise to clarify the goal, why it matters, and what success would look like.
12 to 20 min | Find the gap. Participants name what has kept the goal in “someday”: Time Thieves, competing priorities, fear, assumptions, or waiting for the perfect time.
20 to 30 min | Turn intention into action. Using the Low-to-High ROI framework, participants break the goal into realistic steps and find the smallest one that creates momentum now.
30 to 38 min | Make it social. Partners share their goal and first action, and set up accountability to follow through.
38 to 45 min | Commit. Everyone puts their first action on the calendar before leaving the room, and can add their goal to a shared Dream Wall.
The Ripple Effect: How Small Actions Change Relationships, Teams, and Communities
0 to 5 min | The ripple starts with one person. A quick interaction surfaces the people whose actions have shaped participants’ lives.
5 to 12 min | Map what matters. Participants identify the people, relationships, communities, and causes that matter most to them.
12 to 20 min | Connection audit. One relationship to strengthen, one conversation that has been postponed, one person whose goal they could support.
20 to 30 min | Design a ripple. Each person chooses one small action that could positively affect a person, a team, or a community.
30 to 38 min | From individual goals to community. Small groups connect their ripples to the team and to the wider community.
38 to 45 min | Start the ripple. Participants choose one immediate action and commit to when they will take it.
Participants leave with one clearly defined priority, a first step scheduled on their calendar, an accountability partner, and a worksheet they can keep using.
Every workshop is customized for your event. Tell me about your team and your goals, and we will build the right format together.
