From new business to recurring business. Your session design is the foundation of referrals. It's everything people remember.

In 13 weeks on the Dojo Floor and in the Brain Room, you’ll design brave, beautiful learning that sticks, transfers, and integrates. Likelihood of your success climbs because you practice in real rooms, get clean, direct feedback, and stand on the shoulders of prior cohorts and partner workshops for methods that are proven to work.

A 13-week arc, two full-day intensives, 5 half day sessions, a specialized learning pod, two optional practical days in the Dojo and a banger of a Social impact end of level 1 session you're going to host for a charity.

You get templates, the MonkeyDojo Playbook, build your own themed catchers, and coached build days (plus optional 1:1s) so friction disappears and momentum stays. You bring your context and curiosity; we wire attention, memory, and load into designs, and together we build rooms that move people from inspiration to action.

🧠 Brain Room: attention, memory, load, wired into design.

🏯 Dojo Floor: Learn how to use; Space, experience, surroundings

📅 13 weeks, 2 full days, 5 half days, 2 optional practice days and a final Social impact session

📘 Playbook, templates, coached build days; optional 1:1s.

Here's some more Banana-proof🍌 testimonials for you

My work facilitates many workshops, lessons and group sessions. I had never before realised what kind of quality and experience I gave to the participants. MonkeyDojo Leap has opened my mind in how l can give people an unforgettable day. Hylke does this by giving the bigger picture of human psychology, up to the small details that give great amounts of quality to the workshops. He takes time to brainstorm with you personally. Now my lessons and group sessions have structure, quality and give an experience that people will continue to talk about for months. Because thanks to MonkeyDojo Leap my workshops will never be the same again. And the quality will only improve.

Here's some more Banana-proof🍌 testimonials for you

So inspiring!! Attended MonkeyDojo Leap last week and I’m already rethinking my whole workshop structure for a slice of lemon. I have so many ideas now on how to make a workshop that’s different, while being educating, empowering and entertaining. I’m also so amazed by Hylke’s skills in leading a session and his ability to improvise and adapt to each situation for the ultimate learning experience and result for the attendants. It’s ALSO quite amazing how much details I remember from everything we learned which in itself proves the effectiveness of the training. Highly recommend this for anyone teaching/coaching in team settings.
