The Room
In-Person Workshops
A room full of people is the most powerful teaching format there is, and the easiest to waste. These engagements design the arc, the facilitation, and the materials so the time you have with people actually changes them.
Workshop Strategy Session
Shape your teaching into an arc the room can follow
Priced per project
Best for: Experts with a workshop idea but no clear shape yet
A focused session that defines who the workshop is for, the shift it needs to create, and the session-by-session arc that gets participants there. You leave with a complete outline you can build from with confidence.

Design a room where real learning happens
Priced per project
Best for: Experts ready to deliver a flagship workshop
The full design partnership. Session structure, facilitation flow, exercises, timings, and participant materials, all grounded in transformative and humanistic learning theory, so people leave changed, not just informed.

Build a learning journey across multiple sessions
Priced per project
Best for: Organisations and experts running multi-session programmes
For retreats, training series, and multi-week programmes. We architect the whole journey; how each session builds on the last, how participants integrate between sessions, and how the series lands its transformation.
Learn moreDesigned for Learning, Not Just Applause
A workshop that feels good on the day but fades by Friday has entertained, not taught. Every design here is built on how adults actually learn; humanistic learning theory honours the experience participants bring, transformative learning theory structures for a genuine shift in perspective, and cognitive load theory paces the room so nobody is left behind or overwhelmed.

Workshop Questions
What is workshop design?
Workshop design is planning the learning arc, activities, facilitation, and materials of an in-person session so participants leave able to do something new. Elaine O'Neill designs workshops for experts using humanistic, transformative, and cognitive load learning theory.
Can you help if I already run workshops?
Yes. A Workshop Strategy Session reviews your existing session and identifies where attention drops, where content overloads, and how to restructure it for stronger outcomes.
Do you design multi-session programmes?
Yes. Programme Design builds a sequence of sessions with a clear progression, so each one builds on the last and the learning holds after people leave the room.
Do you facilitate the workshops yourself?
The focus is on architecture, structure, and materials for you to deliver, so the workshop carries your expertise and your voice.
