Workshops

Every Playformance workshop is built around one belief: people do their best work when they feel clear, confident, and genuinely engaged.

Whether you're looking to energize your team, activate your ERG, or develop your people in a way that actually sticks, you're in the right place.

Don't see exactly what you're looking for? Let's talk. We build custom experiences, too.

  • A personal branding workshop for high-performing professionals who are ready to stop being the best-kept secret in the room.

    Most professionals are doing great work and struggling to explain why it matters. They're humble to a fault, underselling their accomplishments, and watching less-qualified colleagues get the rooms, roles, and recognition they deserve. 

    This interactive workshop equips early-career and mid-career professionals to get clear on their career story, build a compelling leadership value statement, and start showing up with more clarity and confidence.

    Attendees walk away with:

    • A framework for communicating their value in any room

    • A clear, compelling Leadership Value Statement

    • Confidence to stop underselling their accomplishments

    • Concrete action steps to increase their visibility in the next 7 days

WHAT SETS US APART

Playformance workshops are built differently and delivered that way, too.

Because people learn more when they're engaged, and engagement is something we take seriously.

Our workshops are designed and facilitated by Lauren Thomas, a Certified Executive Coach with 15+ years of experience in marketing agencies and Fortune 500 companies. 

She’s delivered 30+ keynotes and speaking engagements for organizations including AdWeek, Visit California, Association of National Advertisers (ANA), and the Word of Mouth Marketing Association (WOMMA). 

Lauren is completing a professional facilitation certification from Voltage Control, one of the most rigorous facilitation training programs in the country.

She also performs stand-up comedy, which means she knows how to read a room and keep an audience engaged.

What that means for your team: every session is expertly designed, grounded in real-world professional experience, and genuinely fun.
