Three Approaches to Workshops and Retreats: From Information to Transformation
In the nonprofit world, workshops and retreats serve as vital spaces for learning, collaboration, and renewal. However, not all workshops are created equal. The book Designing and Leading Life-Changing Workshops outlines three distinct models of training: the Traditional Expert Model, the Experiential Model, and the Transformational Model. Each serves a different purpose, and understanding their nuances can help facilitators craft meaningful experiences that align with their participants’ needs.
