🚨Dealing with Workshop Haters - Any Tips or Tricks?

Jun '23 in General discussion & questions

Hi Facilitators 👋

I'm reaching out because I'd love your insights on this challenge: individuals who hate the idea of workshops. These 'anti-workshop' individuals don't seem to see the value in our sessions and are often quite vocal about their disinterest or dissatisfaction.

To understand this perspective better and find ways to address it, I'd like to gather insights from you.

👉 Specifically, I'd love to know:

What are some reasons you've come across for people disliking workshops? Are there any common themes or specific complaints that stand out?
How have you responded to these 'anti-workshop' sentiments? Are there any strategies or techniques you've found effective in engaging these individuals, alleviating their concerns, or demonstrating the value of workshops?

Our goal isn't to convert everyone into a workshop enthusiast, but rather to ensure that our sessions are as inclusive, accessible, and beneficial as possible, even to those who might initially be skeptical or resistant. By understanding the roots of 'anti-workshop' sentiments, I believe we can better address them and improve our practice.

I'm looking forward to hearing your experiences and insights.

💛 Thank you in advance for your contributions to this discussion 💛
