Workshop Design

This workshop is intentionally designed to be immersive and practical—mirroring the complexity, pace, and strategic demands of your day-to-day role.
You’ll move fluidly between strategic reflection and practical application, combining self-awareness with systems thinking to elevate how you work—and how you lead from behind the scenes.
The learning journey follows three key phases:
1. Reflect
You’ll take a step back to examine your current workflows, habits, and strengths—identifying where your time and energy are going, and where they could be better aligned.
2. Reframe
You’ll broaden your perspective, shifting from task execution to strategic contribution—understanding how your role supports leadership, culture, and system-wide efficiency.
3. Redesign
You’ll apply proven frameworks and tools to build a personalized system that enhances clarity, reduces friction, and amplifies your impact—without adding to your workload.
Throughout the workshop, you’ll engage with:
- Real-world administrative challenges and case scenarios
- Actionable frameworks that blend productivity with self-leadership
- Mini design sprints to test and prototype better ways of working
- Guided reflection to surface insights and patterns
- Thoughtful peer dialogue with professionals who understand the unique demands of leadership support
