4 elements of basic workshop design 1#: Purpose Setting the context and the frames for the day. What is the reason for being together? What would you like to achieve?
2#: Connect Making people connect to each other. Create trust and a comfortable working atmosphere. Examples are presenting names, asking for the motivation to show up, play a game, create laughter, etc.
3#: Work proper This is where the work gets done. (Have the creative process in mind) Which steps/exercises are needed to reach the desired outcome?
4# The end Making sure that the work gets landed. Summing up. What did you achieve? How has it been to work together? What have you learned as an individual, as a group? What are the next steps?

A powerful question can look very different. To be powerful it often: Begins with an open question, ex: How, What, When, Where, Whom. Be careful with Why as it may sound accusing. Avoid questions that can be answered with yes/no.
Is preferably short, clear and precise. The power of the questions can be lost if it is too long. Creates new knowledge and insight for the focus person. Are curious, seeks new opportunities and looks ahead. Is asked from the NOW and what emerges in the conversation. Dont spend too much time thinking about the question. Has the right timing (some questions can work in one context and not in another).
