The Workshop Facilitation Guide

How to Make 90 Minutes Feel Like Real Change

Ninety minutes. One room. Something that does not get forgotten by Tuesday.

This is for:

For the facilitator, coach, or therapist who needs a complete guide for running a Purpose Built Press title as a single 90-minute to half-day session that produces something real.

You'll produce:your Your Facilitation Plan

The Name It First Experience

You want the room to produce something real. This guide gives you the structure. You produce Your Facilitation Protocol: a signed document naming session structure, timing, activities, and closing procedures for any Purpose Built Press title. The output is not a script. It is a framework.

You can opt into 30-, 60-, and 90-day check-ins from your account. We recommend you do — the point is to see what changed.

Sample questions

  1. What does 90 minutes with a group actually require — the specific facilitation moves, pacing decisions, and ways of reading a room that make a workshop session feel substantial rather than rushed?
  2. What is the challenge of bringing deep personal work into a time-limited workshop format — and how do you honor both the depth of the material and the constraints of the session?
  3. What would The Workshop Record capture about your facilitation practice — what you have learned about what works in a room, what does not, and what this specific format asks of you?
