Creating Your Seminar Workbook

When someone shows up at an event it’s always a good idea for you to give them some kind of a guide for them to take notes in.

For a short event, it’s fine that you give them merely a one or two page handout.

The longer and more expensive the event, the bulkier the seminar workbook should be.

I like to take the outline that I use to create the seminar as a starting point for the workbook that I create for the attendees.

At the very front of the workbook I give people a brief bio of myself and any other presenter who will be doing that particular event.

I will also include an GENERAL timeline for when things will happen. I do NOT want to give specific times. I will discuss this in detail in another one of the tips in this series.

At the back of the workbook I like to include any relevant articles or lists of resources or websites for the attendee to review.

One crucial mistake that many people make is that don’t put their name and contact information on EVERY page of the workbook. YOU will NOT make this mistake having read my advice here.

The reason is that people will makes copies of this or that page and hand it to friends or colleagues. You want to be sure that they can always find you if that happens.
