workshops work
Welcome to “workshops work,” the podcast that transforms how professionals engage, inspire, and lead groups. Hosted by Dr Myriam Hadnes, a behavioural economist and facilitation evangelist, each episode dives into facilitation techniques and mindsets that make workshops successful.
Join us every week as we sit down with world-renowned facilitators and uncover their secrets to creating psychological safety, fostering collaboration, and sparking innovation. Whether you’re a Facilitator, L&D professional, HR leader, manager, coach or trainer, you’ll find practical tips, inspiring stories, and actionable insights to elevate your group dynamics.
From navigating conflict to unlocking creativity, “workshops work” blends theory with practice, ensuring you walk away with tools you can immediately apply. Dr Myriam Hadnes doesn’t just interview; she facilitates enriching conversations that shift perspectives and deepen understanding.
Let’s democratise facilitation, one workshop at a time.

Bonus Episode: A Fishbowl Conversation with 73 Participants
As part of the Virtual Collaboration Campus 2020, we invited all participants to join an inclusive Fishbowl conversation (similar to the one for Episode 50) around the question “What makes virtual workshops work?”.
A total number of 73 participants joined the Zoom call and we covered many topics around virtual workshops and virtual collaboration: What works and what doesn't? What are our best practices?
The questions we asked and answered:
- What makes virtual workshops work?
- What are your opinions on showing your personal space or having an artificial background?
- What kind of workshops can we only do in the analogue world that we cannot do in the virtual space?
- What can we learn from this crisis that would help us to have a better future?
- How can we use our facilitation skills to help to navigate the crisis?
- What rules do we need to make a “global society” instead of a “global economy” work?
Although I highly recommend keeping a pen and paper at hand to take notes, you can also just download mine!
