[Dirk Slater]

Hello Resource Designers,

Thanks to everyone who has already registered for the upcoming Session Design Lab.

For those that haven’t, a friendly reminder.  We have a few spots left I’d very much welcome you to join. Whether you’re navigating shifting priorities, hybrid environments, or emotionally charged discussions, this lab provides a structured yet flexible approach to designing sessions that foster connection, clarity, and action. Join us to strengthen your ability to create spaces that co-power participants, adapt to complexity, and hold uncertainty with purpose. You can learn more here: https://www.fabriders.net/session-design-lab/

Please ping me directly and I’ll send you instructions for guest registration.  

This week, the lab is scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday at 10 a.m. UTC (please check your time  <https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=The+Session+Design+Lab+-+Feb+%2725+AM+Edition&iso=20250211T10&p1=1440&ah=3>zone), which is friendly to Asia and Europe.
