How public workshops work
Workshop format
A little theory, some content generation, then we dive straight into experience. Whether your cohort is people you know or new connections from around the world, you'll practice the competencies of human engagement through games and challenges that elevate everything.
Small groups by design
Workshops host between 4-6 participants because small groups are the most fun. Each module is three hours on Zoom and facilitated by a certified Connection Lab practitioner.
Built on our Six-Box Model™
The portal for developing human engagement competencies.
Three questions applied to three relationships. A practice for raising to consciousness how you show up under stress, deciding if that's how you want to, and simplifying the nature of my relationships.
What you'll practice
Public Workshops offer three foundational modules, the building blocks of human engagement practice.
Module 1
Relationship
Curiosity and invitation are competencies — and prioritizing your relationship with the audience over your content is a choice. When your audience feels seen and heard, a whole new world of collaboration emerges.
Module 2
Demand
Now that the audience feels seen and heard, calling them to action becomes a trust building function rather than a trust diminishing one. Your audience now has an appetite for action verbs not passive ones.
Module 3
Storytelling
Storytelling is essential for sharing context, values, ethics, and vision — but perhaps most importantly, it's what we humans do under stress. Understand the craft of storytelling and lead with it fully.
Note: Modules 4–6 (Atmosphere, Storytelling, and Leadership) are available through Organization Programs for teams.

satisfaction rate
“The way the Connection Lab workshop is structured this experience is very simple, yet very powerful. People didn't expect something so simple to be so powerful.”
“My Connection Lab experience has opened a new door to my professional development. I see the benefits of my program in both my work and personal relationships. My staff is more responsive to me, as is the most senior management.”
“I got so much more value out of it than I ever could have imagined. A true watershed moment for finding a voice that I didn't know I possessed and finding a comfort in myself that didn't feel achievable to me.”

Yes. Connection Lab workshops run both in-person and on Zoom — and the practice works equally well either way. We've facilitated for teams across six continents and dozens of industries — including non-profit, finance, technology, mining, healthcare, education, legal, real estate, consulting, engineering, HR, recruiting, startups, media, government, and professional services. The skills of human engagement — connection, presence, and audience awareness — translate across geography, culture, and industry, whether you're in the room or on the screen. Get in touch and we'll talk through what makes sense for your setup.
We know these tools firsthand. We've used them, facilitated them, and seen the value they create. Organizations reach for them for good reason: they're accessible, they build a shared language quickly, and people genuinely enjoy the experience. The debrief is often the best conversation of the quarter.
And then everyone goes back to work.
The labels stick, but the behavior doesn't change. The insight stays in the room. It rarely survives first contact with a difficult conversation, a high-stakes presentation, or a team under pressure. That's not a failure of the tools — it's the limitation of what any diagnostic can do on its own.
Connection Lab works where these tools stop. Drawing on the communication principles of the performing arts and ontological coaching, our experiential workshops develop the live, embodied practice of human engagement — in the room, under pressure, in the conversations that determine outcomes. Our Lab Pass platform keeps the practice going — because lasting change requires what the performing arts have always known: relationship, repetition, and support, until new ways of showing up become simply who you are.
The question we start with isn't what type are you? Instead, we ask: how do I show up under stress? How do I want to show up — and, if there is a gap, what competencies do I want to get better at? Those questions scale. They work for the individual, the team, and the organization as a whole.
Beyond a snapshot of ourselves in a single moment in time, Connection Lab develops the competencies of engagement and collaboration — ingredients for progress in both personal and professional development.
After the workshop, you will likely feel a glow of energy from the experience. In service of keeping that warmth alive, you'll be invited to join your cohort in what we call the Lab Pass — our practice web app designed to support your ongoing development of human engagement. Use it to stay connected to your team and practice the tools and language of the Six Box Model. Shared practice is proven to be more effective than going it alone — and your cohort will support you every step of the way.
It is all good. This experience is not about changing who you are. It is about expanding your understanding of what human engagement is specifically so you can choose to collaborate when it feels right to you. All are welcome in these Connection Lab workshops. Don't be surprised if you have blast.
Every workshop opens with introductions, a discussion about best outcomes, and an introduction to the 6 Box philosophy. Then participants generate some written content, and we all dive straight into experience. Whether your cohort is people you already know or new connections from around the world, you'll practice the competencies of human engagement through games and challenges that elevate everything. Our experiential workshops host 4–6 participants — small by design, because that's where the real learning and the most fun happen. Sessions are three hours on Zoom, facilitated by a certified Connection Lab practitioner. We are a small, engaged group doing the work together.
Keynote. Zoom. Boardroom. Film. TV. Most presentation skills training focuses almost exclusively on content — crafting the message, building the deck, choosing the words. Connection Lab is different. We recognize that powerful communication requires more than great content. It requires a somatic practice, and the competencies of a real relationship with your audience. Whether you're delivering a keynote, leading a team, or showing up on camera, we help you get better at all of it — public speaking, presence, and human engagement — wherever you need to show up.
Typically, each workshop is three hours. Unlike multi-month leadership programs or long-term coaching commitments, you can start with a single module and go from there. Some people complete all three modules in short order. Others space them out over months. You choose your own schedule. The practice works no matter what. Come to one workshop, see how it lands, and let that guide what comes next.
For intact teams, Enterprise Programs might be a better fit—we custom-design for your team's actual challenges, and we work alongside you to meet your goals. Public Workshops are great for individuals or small groups from different companies. But if you want to move your whole team, Enterprise is the way.
It is not required that you take all three modules, but don't be surprised if, after the first one, you have a strong appetite to find out what is next. Each module builds on the experience of the previous events, and the result of taking all three will be a deep understanding of how human engagement works and a powerful practice you can share with others.
Connection Lab will never assess you, nor will you receive a diagnosis from us. Development assessments can provide useful language, but rarely provide specific guidance in the area of engagement. Connection Lab is a human engagement tool designed to raise awareness of how effective we are at engaging others and collaborating in general.
