From Surgeon to Facilitator: Dr Liz O'Riordan's First Workshop

In this episode of First Time Facilitator, I chat with Dr Liz O'Riordan about her leap from the operating theatre to the workshop room. After being diagnosed with cancer and leaving surgery, Liz turned to speaking, writing, and now — facilitation. With only days to prepare, she discovered my book The 2-Hour Workshop Blueprint, raided her kitchen cupboards for props, and built a session that participants called “brilliant — don’t change a thing.” We unpack how she: Transformed complex cancer science into playful, prop-based learning (think Jenga and cupcakes 🍰). Used a simple structure to design a two-hour workshop in 72 hours. Sent pre-session videos that warmed up the room before she arrived. Managed nerves, energy, and the “silent moments” during activities. Built her social media presence to reach thousands with her message. 🎯 If you’re new to facilitation, or you’ve ever thought, “Where do I even start?”, Liz’s story will inspire you to just run the workshop.
