2-Hour Workshop Blueprint
Design Fast. Deliver Strong. Without Stress.
by Leanne Hughes
BOOK
Dramatically reduce the time it takes to design your workshops using Leanne Hughes’ 2-Hour Workshop Blueprint
It shouldn’t take you two days to design a two-hour workshop
It used to take me two days, even longer, to design a two-hour session. Don’t agonise over the icebreaker, how to weave contrast into my sessions, how to get the group talking to each other, and sharing their knowledge on the call as well.
“I spent a lot of time jumping on sites like SessionLab, trying to find the perfect group activity to make the topic come alive. This was super exhausting, especially when you’re a bit of a generalist and LOVE delivering new topics all of the time.”
New content means designing a new workshop…Doesn’t it?
“Some people enjoy delivering the same workshops all the time, I really can’t stand that… Unfortunately, I thrive off new content!”
After realising that the ultimate activity for my exact topic wasn’t out there, Leanne went through her own workshop design archives.
Now you can design a-workshop faster, and know the activities will hit the mark, every time.
“Energise the way that you do learning...”

We get it—life is busy. But this event is designed to help you recharge so you can come back stronger, more focused, and more creative. In just 48 hours, you’ll gain fresh perspectives and new energy, making you more effective when you return to your daily routine. Sometimes the best way to solve problems or spark new ideas is to step away and give yourself time to think in a different setting. You’ll return feeling rejuvenated and ready to tackle whatever’s next.
-
You’ll be staying in a luxurious tent (think comfy beds, gourmet meals, and stunning views). There’s no need to “rough it”—you’ll be able to enjoy the beauty of nature while feeling pampered and comfortable. It’s the perfect balance of indulgence and inspiration.
-
If you’re already experienced in facilitation or leadership, you might wonder if this will offer anything different. The answer is absolutely!

You’ll get direct feedback on your current projects, learn fresh approaches to facilitation, and gain new tools from both Leanne and Steve.

The ROI of the Red Carpet Campout comes in many forms:
Personalised Guidance: You’ll get one-on-one time with Leanne to dive into your specific challenges. This isn’t a cookie-cutter event—you’ll leave with actionable solutions tailored to your needs.
Creative Breakthroughs: The immersive nature of this retreat (literally and figuratively) is designed to spark creativity and help you think differently about your work. Whether you’re looking to improve your facilitation, build stronger teams, or innovate within your role, you’ll walk away with fresh insights and approaches.
New Tools & Techniques: From thought-breeder sessions to hands-on workshops, you’ll gain strategies and tools you can use immediately in your professional life.
Deep Connections: The ROI isn’t just in the content—it’s in the relationships you build. With such a small, curated group of attendees, you’ll form connections that can lead to collaborations, new opportunities, and long-term partnerships that you couldn’t have predicted.
Rejuvenation & Clarity: Taking time to unplug and focus on yourself will give you the clarity and energy to return to your work recharged and more effective. That alone can be invaluable when it comes to finding the focus and drive to move forward in your projects.
But really, why limit ROI? I reckon you’ll get a ton more from this experience
