You’ve seen it before—a group forms around a shared interest or challenge, full of energy and good intentions. But over time, meetings fizzle, participation drops, and the group loses direction. It’s frustrating when a space for support and learning feels like just another meeting with little purpose.
This happens in many organizations. Communities of practice are groups that meet regularly to share knowledge, solve problems, and improve their work. When well supported, they can strengthen collaboration and lead to new ideas. But without clear structure, purpose, and skilled facilitation, these groups often lose momentum and, with it, the chance to learn from each other.
This workshop gives you the tools and strategies to build and lead a thriving community of practice. You’ll learn how to define your group’s purpose, set a foundation for success, and create a space where people feel safe and motivated to share. You’ll also explore practical facilitation skills to guide conversations and keep the group engaged over time.
By the end of the session, you’ll be ready to create an inclusive and engaging space where people learn from one another, solve real problems together, and build lasting connections. Whether you’re starting a new group or supporting an existing one, you’ll leave with the tools and clarity to make your community of practice a meaningful part of your workplace.
