Highlights:

“The first thing is that you've got to understand the purpose of your workshop. What is the outcome you want, and what does good look like if it goes well?” - 0:55 - Gary Gamp

“The main thing is handling objections in advance. I try to build a relationship with people in the room before I start.” - 3:50 - Gary Gamp 

“Don't put technology into your workshop just because you like tech. Put it in because it's going to make a difference to what you're trying to do.” - 7:50 - Gary Gamp 

“It's very hard to facilitate and participate in your own meeting. Don't try this at home!” - 10:30 - Gary Gamp
