Curating Impactful Experiences

We’re living in the age of generation hustle. In recent years, high-profile scams have made their way into our homes by way of podcasts, books, and streaming series featuring Elizabeth Holmes, Anna Delvey, and the infamous Tinder Swindler. And while we know deceiving people is completely immoral, there still lingers fascination surrounding their stories.?
It dawned on me there’s one common thread their stories all shared: the curation of impactful experiences. Impactful experiences have the power to engage, motivate, and create a lasting impression. For workshops and meetings, the best facilitators use design principles to create impactful experiences that produce endless transformations.
DON’T?be like the Tinder Swindler and tell meeting attendees your enemies are after you.?DO?apply learning experience design principles to maximize participant potential.
While scammers lean into lies and silos, experience design principles are rooted in authenticity and collaboration. When we approach impactful experiences with a?human-centered design process, we can empathize with and therefore better understand the end-user and what they truly desire. By leading a design thinking workshop, you’ll encourage your team to innovate in this human-centered way. As you create everything from this level of self-awareness, you’ll ultimately develop better solutions, improve your company, and transform your team.
?When it comes to your workshops and meetings, you don’t have to?fake it ‘till you make it. You can design a fraud-free powerful experience that improves engagement, retention, and participant commitment.?
?Sign up for our upcoming?Workshop Design?to learn unique methods to engage more participants and facilitate lasting growth. Differentiate your facilitation practice by building your learning experience design skills.
