Strategy Coach - Clarity + Alignment

I need to design an engaging workshop activity

Design sessions people lean into, not endure.

From 162 coaching tools, these 5 fit your challenge:

  1. Liberating Structures

    Offers thirty-plus ready microstructures that get everyone participating, so you can design an activity that fits your exact goal instead of defaulting to discussion.

  2. 35 Game (Thiagi)

    Gives you a fast, energising structure for surfacing and ranking a group's best ideas, turning passive input into a lively, self-prioritising activity.

  3. World Cafe

    Provides a proven format for large-group conversation in rounds, designing in the cross-pollination that keeps a big workshop engaged.

  4. Sticks Activity

    A simple, physical exercise that gets a group moving and laughing while making a point stick — useful when energy and embodiment matter more than slides.

  5. Design Thinking for Educators

    Gives you a human-centred design process for building the workshop itself, so the activity is shaped around what participants need rather than what you want to cover.
