Create strategic alignment and accelerate your roadmap with the tools and methods of content strategy.
About the Workshop
Ever worked on an unclear project?
Stuck trying to develop messaging for something that makes no sense?
“Redesigning” a website without any clear goals or outcomes?
Sometimes we have to carry on and hope for the best on, but it’s a frustrating way to work.
Good news: There’s a better way. Learn a simple and powerful framework — and key tools — for clarifying the vision, voice, mission, message, targets, and tone of the brands and business units you support.
Who It’s For
mid-level and up content designers and UX writers, marketing leads, design leads of all flavors (e.g. UX, research, service) who want to be more confident about content, brand and product strategists, product owners, product managers, enterprise content strategists, knowledge managers and technical content leads, comms teams at large organizations with consumer-facing brands
Having access to cool and interesting learnings in a small group workshop meant I was able to clearly and methodically learn a framework that can be applied to the workplace.

Add-On: Expert Lunch & Learn
Any company that sends someone to a workshop in 2023 can add a private Q&A or lunch-and-learn session at a discount of over half my usual in-house speaking fee. You could schedule the session before the workshop to help your team map out learning goals, or schedule it for after to add an expert perspective during your after-action planning. Please contact me if you’re interested in this opportunity.
Public Workshop Format
Each workshop consists of two online training sessions lasting four hours each, held on consecutive days. The training is live and interactive, delivered via videoconferencing and an online whiteboard space. It’s a similar experience to an in-person training, except you don’t have to travel and can wear comfy clothes!
A maximum of 20 total participants will be in each workshop; typically fewer.

Private Workshop Pricing
In-house and team training workshops start at $7,500 USD. This provides a significant savings at 10 or more participants, and can be planned to suit your schedule and calendar; for instance, held online on two consecutive Friday mornings, or held in-person as an all-day workshop, or as a 90-minute class that meets weekly.
My workshops scale up and down very well, and large and small groups alike are just fine. Smaller groups afford more time for getting into the nitty-gritty and applying the lesson to a specific challenge or product, and larger groups help you get everyone aligned on tools and methods in one shot to improve the quality and effectiveness of your collaborations.
