🍤What are your prawn crackers?

Why I think workshops could be yours...

Hiya 🌊,

Since moving to rural France, a dramatic reduction in takeaways and taxis was an unplanned consequence.

The few local takeouts mean you must phone (speak French🥶) and then drive to collect (not my favourite hilltop activity at night😱).

But a local takeaway has a kiosk desk by the exit door at our local supermarket.

They also have a sample dish to try a few things, maybe a dumpling or sushi.

If I’m solo-parenting or it's just been a bit of a week, as I’m heading out of the supermarket and I see their stand, I always think about how this is my dinner help for the day.

The final treat—whenever I am there with my children, and I’m taking a hot minute to decide, they immediately hand over a small packet of prawn crackers.

The supermarket with three is sometimes a trialling experience, so their patience with me wears thin by the time I choose yet another thing off the shelf.

This act helps give me a small window to choose what I want to buy, keeps me returning and solves a problem as they happily munch away, distracted by the prawn crackers.

This is what a good workshop can do for you…

Service providers like Daniel Priestley or Chris Do offer free workshops as an introduction to their accelerators, and tech & product companies offer workshops to showcase how you can use their products.

It doesn’t matter if you a chef, author, yoga teacher, designer, healer or a PR writer like me. A workshop can be a great way to:

👯‍♀️ connect at a deeper level with your audience

📣 showcase your expertise and position yourself as a thought leader

🚪 open doors to alternative income streams, higher fee workshops or speaking opportunities

🎁 a gift, like my prawn crackers, to your audience

If you are a paid member, we already have an introductory workshop for workshops class you can watch now.

But to really hijack your workshops for 2025 I asked Kirsty Lewis, founder of the School of Facilitation to do a deeper dive and share two exclusive sessions for my audience, designed to help you run workshops that truly connect and convert:

🌟 Session 1: Design Your Workshop – Tuesday, 12th November, 19:00-21:00
Discover how to create purposeful, engaging workshops tailored to your audience.

🌟 Session 2: Hype Your Facilitation – Tuesday, 26th November, 19:00-21:00
Learn how your language and body language impact engagement and outcomes, and master both with Kirsty’s expert guidance.

Each session is a stand-alone experience at £123 + VAT, but if you book both, they’re just £197 + VAT—perfect for those who want to go deeper. (Each class has only 30 spots.)

Why do I care about this?

Everything I share here on Hype Yourself is designed to help you build your brand and get yourself out there. Workshops have been incredible for me:

🔓 to unlock new business opportunities

💰 earn an income whilst I pivot from agency owner to writer

👩🏻‍🏫 upskill as a teacher and learn how to hone my expertise

🫂 reach more people on my mission to help others hype themselves AND grow my audience

I want the same for you in 2025.

You have less than two weeks to secure your spot 👉 here.

Let’s make workshops work better—for you and for everyone you’re here to serve.

Keep on hyping.

Also, my next free workshop for all is in partnership with Enterprise Nation. It is one of their popular lunch-and-learn sessions on Creating a profitable Substack that builds your Brand.
