FAQ

The primary goal of a workshop is skill development and practical application. Participants do things during a workshop, meaning the format is more interactive and hands-on. Workshops may include independent or group activities, active discussions, simulations, and an exploration of case studies. A workshop is typically longer, usually either a half or full day, depending on the purpose and desired outcomes.

In contrast, a seminar is primarily focused on participants learning about something in greater detail. Seminars are a blend of lecture and general discussion, with participants engaged in learning a new skill and connecting this learning to help them solve various problems. Seminars will often close with a structured Q&A session or guided discussion in smaller groups. Seminars are often shorter than workshops, lasting anywhere from 2–3 hours, depending on the needs of the organization.

While Melinda can structure any of her popular topics to be a workshop or a seminar, she finds that the following topics work best as a workshop, as they require more time for participants to engage in the material and create meaningful action plans:

  • Every Conversation Counts: Leadership Coaching that Builds Capacity
  • Designing AI Guidance for Use in K-12 Schools
  • Problem or Preference: Advanced Coaching Skills that Empower Teams
  • Supporting Teams Through Change

Based on her experience, the following topics work well as a seminar as they focus on participant learning to inspire change in their roles:

  • Courageous Conversations: Addressing Conflict with Intention and Care
  • Framing Conversations with Purpose
  • The Power of Inquiry: Asking Impactful Questions

Leadership Training is a strategically designed framework that helps leaders increase their coaching skills, build stronger teams, and create lasting impact. If your organization is interested in Leadership Training, Melinda will work with you to design a custom program that meets your needs. Additional topics can be blended with the core components of Leadership Training to ensure your team leaves with the skills and expertise they need to expand their impact.
