Ever felt like your carefully designed workshop slides were shining… only to see glazed-over eyes staring back? Or maybe you’ve struggled to make your training stick across cultures, time zones, or even just coffee preferences. Designing workshops that *truly* include and engage participants as well as spark lasting learning can feel daunting. But what if you had a set of tested, trainer-friendly tools that made it easier to connect, include, and inspire? In this month’s Learning and Development Roundtable, we’ll explore **six powerful, practical tools** that will help you design workshops that actually land with your audience—whether they’re across the table or across the globe: **In this free workshop on October 16th, with me, [Lee-Anne Ragan](http://rockpaperscissorsinc.com/about/%20 "http://rockpaperscissorsinc.com/about/%20"), you’ll:** * Discover your strength and your bias when it comes to your learning style and how to adapt so you include everyone.. * Unlock new ways of seeing, thinking, and acting to bridge perspectives using the Life Lenses®. * Uncover your S.A.K.E. strengths and biases in order to make your workshops are balanced and inclusive. * Explore a simple but mighty tool to strengthen learning design, noneother than the almight almond. * Discover some simple trauma informed tips to build spaces that are safe, inclusive, and effective. * Understand what drives participants (and you) so learning doesn’t just start—it sticks. * Gain access to 12+ years of Learning and Development Roundtable resources * Count the workshop towards your annual UN professional development (If you’re a UN staff) (but know that you don’t have to be a UN staff to attend, any and all are welcome) ✨ Come ready to reflect, connect, and leave with fresh ideas to put into practice right away. **[RSVP using this link](https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZUqduiopjMrHdzOgtcF_2S39rLxw5Ym7iFl#/registration "https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZUqduiopjMrHdzOgtcF_2S39rLxw5Ym7iFl#/registration") by October 14th.
