What customers are saying about our workshops
Craig Bryan
Certified Leadership Coach, Behavior Consultant
Your material is clean, simple to follow, relevant, and well-laid out. It is hard to find plug-and-play content that is useful and easy to integrate into virtually any program. Great job Workshop Bank!
Lore Lapinsky
Organization Development Director
Sometimes the time constraints are tight, and I need a wonderful activity, and quite frankly, don’t have the time to create that AND build-out the Learning / Training components. Your excellent materials help me a lot.
Rebecca Booker
Group Training Manager
Just thought I’d let you know that I have used the relationship triangle and the team evolution curve this week in my workshops with a private home care company, and oh my goodness it went so well. They LOVED it and so did I. It worked brilliantly and I’ve been asked back for another two days!!
I’m sure I would not have been able to have the impact I did without these two invaluable tools and just wanted to say I’m so glad I joined the WorkshopBank. I can’t wait to test out more of the resources!!
Barbara Walsh
Master Executive and Systemic Leadership Team Coach
Before joining I used to spend hours searching for exactly the right activity to enhance the learning of the various teams I work with. Being a member means I have access to an amazing set of tools and activities - there is something to fit almost any purpose here! The biggest benefit for me is in having such a large resource of tools, all categorized and easy to find, on one platform.
Rebecca Southern
Senior HR Partner
Your products give access to ready made tools that have been tried and tested, cover a wide variety of topics, are done in an engaging way and there is an added bonus that you follow up and send me new material……. Which enables be to learn new approaches.
Penelope Barr
Senior Technology Manager
The great thing about what you've done is put all these techniques in one place & curated them by topic, outcome & time. It's really helpful - thank you.
Clint Reece
Project Director
Before joining I used to spend a lot of time planning a workshop. Being a member has meant I've been able to save time and deliver a better experience for my clients. As an independent project director, the workshops I'm called on to facilitate can be quite varied. I subscribed with two goals in mind -- saving prep time and making my events better for my clients. The resources on the site are well organized and definite time-savers, and between the training videos and Nick's one-on-one guidance, my clients are definitely getting a better experience.
Andres Marquez-Lara
Leadership & collaboration expert helping organizations tackle complex challenges in Latin America
While I have a lot of experience doing workshops and I have a framework, mine wasn't as comprehensive as Nick's. The way he really baked into it the sustainable elements of it has been helping me think about how to do that for my own. I also have access to other facilitation tools but I'm always looking for variations and new ones and I like having all of them systematized in one place.
Rachel L. Moore
Owner at Moore Productive LLC
Before joining, I used to develop all my workshop and team facilitation tools myself. And because I'm very picky about the way my work looks and the results it yields, I spent hours on each deck I prepared. As a member, I have access to tools and processes focused on all the key aspects of facilitation and team building that are ready to use and I can put my company logo on them. And I've found tools here that I didn't even know I needed. Everything I've used has yielded great results and saved me many hours of work! I've been a member of WorkshopBank since early after launch and I've seen the growth and the deep focus on customers. I know Nick will continue this growth and he continually surprises and delights his clients. Also, I've shared WorkshopBank with many of my colleagues and they've all loved it as much as I do. Don't hesitate! You'll be glad you joined.
Larae Pierson
Coach & Facilitator
I used to spend hours planning my workshops - I wanted the process to be JUST right and sometimes would get stuck in a spin. Being a member means I'm able to draw from more tools to enhance my client experience. Plus I feel like part of a great community of facilitators. The biggest benefit of membership for me is the instant support I received from Nick, and I love the overview index sheet that shows you exactly where you need to head for the outcome you want to achieve.
Peter Fulcher-Meredith
Before I joined the WorkshopBank I would spend forever searching for the right tools and process to help me facilitate my sessions - it was such a pain and such a waste of time. This membership now means I have everything I need at hand 1 click away and some extra bonuses I didn't expect but appreciate. Don't hesitate joining it is a win-win. You won't regret it for one moment - it's all there waiting for you. You just have to make a small investment and it's there forever.
Vanda Alexander
CIPD Qualified HR Consultant
I have achieved so much new learning from your exciting tools. Thank you.
Emily Wilson
Professional Development Coordinator at Appalachian State University
I have used your resources in my work with various departments, and they have always found the activities meaningful, which is why I decided to become a member. This is an awesome resource!
NJ Miler
Certified Health Coach
I've truly found WorkshopBank to be of great value. The activities / workshops we've done with our offices have been great. It got to the point that they couldn't wait for the next seminar to see what I had up my sleeve for them. Thank you for all your help.
Debra Dubow
Team Excellence & Engagement Leader
I work with many leadership teams around the globe and I am always looking for new ideas to make them more effective. I find your material and site very useful.

Colin Danvers
Clear, simple and infinitely adaptable... thanks so much for sharing these incredibly useful resources for the benefit of so many.
Samuel Hill
District Manager at Sodexo
I used the Prioritization Matrix in a Global Sr Leader strategy session. The feedback was positively overwhelming and gave me visibility with these global leaders. I just followed the blueprint. Thank You - WorkshopBank!
Gill Cromhout
Visual Facilitator, Coach, Trainer
I wanted to give you some positive feedback about your Think, Feel, Say, Do activity. I used it as an agenda setting exercise “live” in a group of 6 University Staff (Academics and Administrators). It worked brilliantly. I simply facilitated the process about their priorities, their preferred agenda, their preferred approach, roles and timeframes. The end result was that they felt extremely proud of their collaboration and co-creation as a team who had previously “been at war” with each other. So a huge thank you from me.
Imtiaz Hasan
Leadership & Management Program Developer
The way you present your workshops makes it easy to implement and offer some great solutions to our learners/ teams and managers. Wonderful work. Thank you
Dr Pari Namazie
Organizational & Leadership Development Coach and Facilitator
It is one of the best investments I have made, giving me access to a wide tried and tested facilitator's tool kit, excellent exercises, great customer/member support, plus new tools and resources being added frequently.
Terri Mashanda
Senior Consultant
The uniqueness about WorkshopBank is Nick helps you from the start of your workshop to the end of it. There is a vast range of technical tools which are so helpful to any organisation wanting to improve their results. As a facilitator/trainer you will stand out from the rest.
Brian Nelson
Business Advisor - Revenue Development
The content you provide is nothing short of excellent. I’ve examined a lot of it and also bought membership for ongoing use.
Helen Croft
Business and Sports Development Consultant
I used to spend a lot of time searching for facilitation tools. Trying to find the right content for workshops and transferring the information to powerpoint slides. Being a member means I'm able to find relevant and useful tools and techniques for my workshops which saves time and improves outcomes for my clients. When I have a challenging workshop I schedule a call with Nick who provides brilliant support, signposting me to the most suitable resources. The biggest benefit of membership for me is access to tools and techniques that help me to a better job for your clients. Access to insightful thinking and signposting to the right tools to help you do the job. Cutting edge resources and tools saving you time and enhancing your capability.
Jan Lelie
Transformation Expert at Ministry of Economic Affairs & Climate
Before joining I had to combine several sources for information on facilitation and change management. Now I’m able to find detailed methods and techniques quickly, and in different formats. Being part of a growing community of professionals is a big advantage.
Marybeth Gregg
President at The Gregg Resource Group, LLC
I've been using your materials with great success over the past year and have been very impressed. When I saw the membership I knew it would be so valuable that I had to join!
Karyn Kagiyama
Founder of Scale2Grow
You have done a fantastic job of creating high-quality, high value content that aligns with how I facilitate, saving me prep time. Keep it coming.
Anton de Leeuw
Managing Director at Salus Group Limited
Becoming a member gives me access to a complete online library of easy to adopt and brand templates and most importantly access to one-to-one sessions with Nick. What you see is true. What you read is true. Everything is laid out and works just as Nick describes and includes more information than I expected. Before joining I would question the source of information and concern myself with not having an oversight over all possible resources. I also concerned myself the approach was suitable for the industry.

I don’t facilitate workshops very often so it’s great to find off the shelf tools that I can use without ‘reinventing the wheel!’ - great time saver!

Beth Fredrick

I love that your site is a one-stop shop AND that you connect exercises with what they might help achieve in terms of workshop objectives.

FAQs
Who, specifically, is this library of workshops for?

This resource gives you access to proven tools that work.

Who should NOT buy this resource library?
