Next Live Masterclass: TBA
Note: Registration will close Thursday, April 3rd at 11:59pm ET.
Does this sound like you?
- “I spend weeks over-prepping and still feel insecure about whether my content is enough.”
- “My participants stay camera-off or skeptical until the very end. By then I’m exhausted.”
- “I just want personalized suggestions to make my events better.”
“I wish that every engagement or gig I had just turned into two more, so that I could stop constantly hunting for new clients.” - “I want people to contribute, but I end up talking 90% of the time.”
- “Every time I face execs or high-stakes groups, I feel out of place.”
- “After sessions, I’m wiped out with a workshop hangover.”
- “I’m experienced, but I need fresh, new ideas to make a bigger impact with my workshops, trainings, and speaking engagements.”
- “I’m tired of being a dentist constantly pulling teeth for engagement and participation (online and off)?”
…then this experience might be perfect for you.

Outcomes You Can Expect
- Eliminate preparation anxiety and stop burning hours over-prepping
- Make every session so valuable clients want to rebook before you even finish
- Engage even tough, resistant or downright grumpy groups with practical strategies that work online and off
- Leave each gig feeling fulfilled instead of drained and confident in what you offer rather than walking out as your own harshest critic
- Clarify your unique voice and value so you stop comparing and second-guessing
- Hit “refresh” on your toolkit and approach with new ideas that make workshops, trainings, and events energizing again
What Is It?
This isn’t another passive course. In this live, hands-on masterclass, you’ll learn a counterintuitive facilitation method that flips workshops from content-heavy and forgettable to 10 out of 10 world-class learning experiences.
Instead of burning hours in prep or leaving drained after sessions, you’ll discover how to design gatherings that:
- cut prep stress in half
- draw out the wisdom in the room (even from “arms crossed” or “camera off” folks)
- feel so engaging that clients rebook you before you even finish
Every session is hosted live by Chad Littlefield. Nothing pre-recorded, nothing fluffy.
You’ll leave with practical tools, fresh approaches, and a repeatable framework to create energizing sessions that you cannot find on YouTube or anywhere else.

Space is extremely limited and Engage to Educate only runs once per year. This isn’t just a marketing line as Chad wants to keep our sessions as personalized and applied as possible. As you consider this investment in yourself, note that we often look at the cost of a book, course, or coach. More rarely do we consider the cost of being in the same exact place 1 year from now. Still, this is an investment. If you’re not quite ready for that, you always have the option to buy our recorded Engage to Educate Masterclass right in our store.

Funny—but true—fine print: Chad has been known to fall in love with a group and offer surprise bonus sessions based on hot topics or emerging needs.
Where?
Discounts?
Recordings?
Yes! Everyone who registers gets access to ALL recordings to ALL sessions.
No sweat if you miss a session or two. This is a busy group.
Who and how many?
In past years, 20-30 people. Chad always adjusts and ammends the design to ensure Engage to Educate is maximally personalized and adds sessions if needed to ensure this. This is by far the smallest and most intimate public offering Chad offers.
He created Engage to Educate with depth and genuine transformation in mind.
Not size, scale, speed and efficiency.
Scroll up to see who this is for and who this is not for. Short answer: whether you are a novice or an expert, if you lead groups, you will fall in love and be transformed by this workshop series.
Lastly, to keep sessions personal and impactful, Chad designs each workshop with a thoughtful blend of high-impact content and small-group breakouts for reflection and application. And all of his examples are shared with specific participants in mind.
Chad makes a point to personally get to know each participant’s goals to ensure his examples and teaching are highly personalized to the group.
Sessions take place in Zoom Meetings (not webinars) too, so you can actively engage, ask questions, and apply what you’re learning in real time.
You can expect to fit on one Zoom screen with everyone in the cohort.
Small groups or large groups?
Yes and yes. Designing for engagement requires the format to be shifted often. Pairs, small groups, whole group shares, solo-reflection, application time, etc.
Chad will be modeling the facilitation styles and techniques as he teaches them.
Therefore, all the techniques are also equally as applicable for in-tact teams with 8 members and large national conferences with thousands of attendees.
What if I have to miss a session?
Is the focus on virtual, in-person, or hybrid?
Yes, yes, and yes.
You can expect to learn the exact methods Chad uses to design his own sessions regardless of whether they are virtual, in-person, or hybrid.
Examples will abound for all three, yet most exercises and strategies can be easily adapted across contexts.
What happens if I don’t like it?
If you attend all the sessions and don’t love the experience and get heaps of value, we’ll refund you your money. Period. (Big claim, we know. But we only design experiences that matter and make a difference.)
That said, based on our experience, 100% of past participants have loved Engage to Educate. We do not offer refunds for time conflicts as this is a busy group and you’ll have access to all recordings and interactions that happen before, during, and after sessions through the online community as well.
