One-off Workshops & Offsites

Focused, high-impact learning that makes a difference straight away.

A well-designed workshop can do more than tick a training box.

It can give your team sharper communication, stronger prioritisation, or a new level of confidence in solving problems. The right focus creates immediate improvements that continue to add value long after the session.

How it works.

Focus on one specific skill for maximum impact

By concentrating on a single capability, the team can practice deeply and make noticeable improvements. This ensures the session drives immediate results without overwhelming participants.

Hands-on, applied exercises tied to real work challenges

Participants bring their own real-life example situations and tasks to the training, so learning is practical and relevant for their day-to-day work. They leave the session with strategies they can implement straight away.

Resources and reference materials to sustain the skill

Follow-up reference material, tools and a “retrospective” check-in or Q&A help embed the new capability in routine work. Managers can also create accountability, ensuring the skill continues to grow beyond the session.

Flexible delivery without losing impact

Workshops can be in-person, virtual, or hybrid. They can range from one hour to a full day, adapting to your team’s schedule. The design maintains engagement and practical outcomes regardless of format.

Examples of popular one-off sessions:

  • Learn a structured, end-to-end approach to tackle complex problems with confidence. Develop skills in framing the problem and identifying the key question, breaking down information hierarchically, and applying a hypothesis-led approach to plan the work.

  • Understand the key components of an effective Elevator Pitch and become familiar with three variations of structures. Build confidence and fluency in delivering your Elevator Pitch through practice and peer feedback.

  • Explore a ‘storylining’ approach to structure messages for clarity, impact, and persuasion, and adjust this to your audience. Practice applying these structures to presentations, emails, and conversations to communicate ideas more effectively.

  • Identify your main time constraints and challenges, then explore three common prioritisation tools and concepts to manage competing demands. Take a practical approaches to prioritise tasks based on value.

  • Develop the mindset to own your impact, focus on solutions, and proactively drive results. Learn to distinguish between mindset, behaviours, and outcomes, and define how you want to show up at work. Explore four practical ways to recognise your mindset and three actionable strategies to shift it, helping you take ownership and accountability in your role.

Who is this for:

  • Leaders who want to add an engaging development session to an offsite agenda.

  • Teams who want more, or different, development opportunities.

  • Organisations looking for focused, high-value, practical professional development.

Reactions from previous workshops

  • "Learning to break down problems with a clear hierarchy of information was incredibly useful. It forced me to slow down and think about whether I was working on the right problem in the first place - and what is actually necessary to share with different stakeholders."

    Workshop: Strategic Problem Solving Bootcamp

  • "The most impactful part for me was learning how to adjust problem framing depending on the audience. We practiced pitching the same problem to a peer versus to an executive sponsor, and I immediately saw how small changes in framing and narrative clarity make a big difference. I left with concrete ways to apply this in my current project and with more confidence in engaging senior leaders."

    Workshop: Strategic Problem Solving Bootcamp

  • The Who, Why, What, How framework changed the way I now prepare for presentations. We worked through an actual real-life task for different audiences and it became clear how powerful it is to adjust to a specific audience. It was really helpful to have dedicated time to apply the frameworks in the sessions and directly thought-partner with Evelien in the plenary discussions."

    Workshop: Structured, Audience-Centric Communication

  • "A great, well structured training. Insightful to compare different frameworks and learn how to practically apply them for different uses. And really helpful to have all the frameworks and exercises in the workbook for reference. I'll be sharing this with my coachees, and am already implementing some of the suggestions."

    Workshop: Time and Task Prioritisation for Managers

  • "Evelien brought a generous spirit and pragmatic approach to working through the content. It was great to learn some new tools that will genuinely shift the way I manage my time and think about prioritisation, including in real life situations. I appreciated hearing about Evelien's experience of applying the frameworks."

    Workshop: Time and Task Prioritisation for Managers

  • "My biggest takeaway was realising that being a leader is not about having a title or direct reports: it’s about mindset and ownership. The exercises on recognising my own mindset in the moment were very insightful. I also valued the practical strategies to shift into a more proactive, solution-oriented approach. It’s made me more deliberate about how I show up in meetings and how I contribute to my team’s success."
