Welcome to the most hands-on part of Day 3!

This is where you go from theory to practice, by actually planning your own high-impact UX workshop.

If you’ve ever sat in a meeting that went in circles with no clear decision, you’ll love this module. You’ll learn how to lead sessions that generate solutions, not just ideas.

In this activity, you’ll:

• Reflect on a past session that didn’t go as planned.

• Frame a powerful workshop question.

By completing this activity, you’ll be ready to run a UX workshop that actually drives impact. Not someday—this week.

Let’s build that facilitation muscle.
