Welcome to Waysfest.

The most humane form of professional development you could wish for.

June 2nd - 20th at The Windsor Workshop.

Get your head around it.

We’ve reimagined classic We Have Ways workshops and courses for the audiences that need them the most.

No tricks or hacks. No clicking multiple choice questions. Just human-to-human knowledge sharing.

Workshops will run multiple times across three weeks in June, with a morning or late afternoon session available for each.

Sessions are limited to groups of 10 individuals. We can accommodate larger groups upon request.

Scroll down, see if a title resonates with how you identify and go from there.

It’s a great time of year to treat yourself.

We Have Ways...

  • for frustrated managers

    The main problem with being a frustrated manager is finding an appropriate, safe, non-judgemental place to clear your head.

    So we’ve created an appropriate, informative, non-judgemental workshop to help make things a little bit clearer.

    Session times:

    June 2nd: 3:30-5:30pm

    June 11th: 9-11am SOLD OUT

    June 18th: 9-11am

  • for clunky explainers

    Once upon a time there was person who wasn’t very good at conveying information in an interesting or compelling way.

    If that sounds like you, you’ll be pleased to learn that a very useful storytelling workshop will appear when you click the button below.

    Session times:

    June 3rd: 9-11am

    June 5th: 3:30-5:30pm

    June 12th: 9-11am SOLD OUT

  • (for introverts)

    The ability to speak coherently in front of people without fainting, vomiting or ‘literally’ dying can be advantageous in most lines of work.

    If you’re going to have a crack at getting better at it, you might as well do it along with sympathetic, like-minded souls.

    Session times:

    June 4th: 9-11am, June 10th: 3:30-5:30pm SOLD OUT,

    June 17th: 3:30-5:30pm, June 19th: 9-11am.

  • for 18-27 year-olds

    So you decided to enter the workforce during the most disruptive, disjointed and most PTSD-ridden era outside of a depression. Nice one.

    We’ll catch you up on a few things you might have missed, forgotten or not been told about that will help it all make a little more sense.

    Session times:

    June 4th: 3:30-5:50pm SOLD OUT

    June 5th: 9-11am

    June 16th: 9-11am

  • for the blocked, stuck or stagnant

    Have you ever been so in the zone that you’re like Neo in the Matrix except instead of knowing Kung Fu you come up with infinite amazing ideas?

    Don’t worry. No one has. Because coming up with ideas is really hard. This workshop will help make it less hard.

    Session times:

    June 3rd: 3:30-5:30pm SOLD OUT

    June 13th: 9-11am

    June 17th: 9-11am
