Joël is joined by fellow thoughtboter Aji Slater as they discuss their previous experiences in designing content for workshops.

Learn how to best structure your workshop for an audience, the benefits of a workshop over a talk and vice versa, as well as how to tackle the different hurdles your audience might face when working through your presentation.
