Workshops and Training
Practical, hands-on training for museums, heritage sites and cultural organisations
I run bespoke workshops for teams across the cultural sector - bringing the same expertise I use in my consultancy and coaching work into a room with your people. Each workshop is practical and hands-on, built around real problem-solving rather than theory, so your team walks away with skills they can put into action straight away.
I currently offer two workshops, both available as bespoke sessions tailored to your organisation.
Let's talk about your training needs - get in touch today
Workshop 1: Embedding a Culture of Coaching
1-day workshop
Coaching is simply a different way of having a conversation. Instead of being directive, you ask questions and that change can be transformational, helping employees become better problem solvers, sharper communicators, and more empathetic colleagues.
In this one-day workshop, attendees learn what coaching is, how it works, and how to do it including:
- The difference between coaching and mentoring
- How to have a coaching conversation
- Emotional intelligence
- How to ask questions that prompt learning
- How to critique their own leadership style
There's also plenty of time to practise coaching, so attendees leave ready to put it into action.
Do this workshop if you want:
- A team who can problem-solve and bring you solutions
- A team who work together well and communicate effectively
- To see growth and greater productivity
- Improved confidence across your team
- Better employee retention

Workshop 2: Creating a Commercial Events Programme
2-day workshop
Commercial events in the heritage sector are a bit like a golden goose - hard to get right with limited resources, but strike the balance between audience and profit and you've really got something. From film screenings to sleepovers, heritage venues are bold players in the events scene. I've built and run some of the most successful programmes in the sector, and now I run training to set my clients up for the same success.
This two-day workshop gives your team everything they need to build a profitable events programme in a heritage or cultural setting, covering:
- Who you're targeting and why
- Scoping out your venue - what makes you unique
- Finding an idea that'll work - the event concept
- Risks and limitations
- Capacities and volumes
- Budgeting and finding profit
- Building an events team
- Production and other large costs
- Stakeholders and how to manage them
- Marketing - from SEO through to post-event survey
- Operational planning
- Risk assessments
- Post-event evaluation and survey
- How to build and nurture your audience
- Growing your idea
The benefits:
Your team will walk away with an in-depth understanding of what it takes to put on an event, attract an audience, and turn a profit - having built an event from scratch and mapped the full journey from concept to evaluation. That leaves them with a much clearer view of the whole process, the risks involved, and how to pull an event together profitably at your venue.
