Next session: 15th of January, 2026

A one-day train-the-trainer: brain-based design and live practice with direct feedback.
Learn how to use attention and memory load (Brain Room) and experience, the space and themes (Dojo Floor) to optimise your learning session(s). Built for facilitators, trainers, workshop hosts, and public speakers to start designing sessions that stick, transfer, and integrate, today.

Powered by neuroscience, embodiment, personality, and healthy polarity.

You'll wear two caps; participant and trainer, feel it first, then open the hood and make it yours.

Four-layer transfer design, built for real work.

From new business to recurring business. This is the foundation of referrals.

MonkeyDojo Leap is your fast win: in one day (+ 1:1 session) you step into the Brain Room and onto the Dojo Floor to feel, and use, what makes learning stick, transfer, and integrate.

Likelihood goes up because you practice in a real room, get clean, direct feedback, and learn Training Triage: read what’s happening, adapt without losing the thread.

You’ll wear two caps throughout the day: participant (fully in) and trainer (under the hood), so every move you experience is one you can reuse, remix, and sell.

You leave with your own updated training design, a way sharper opener, themed catchers, and more learning flows to work through your session(s).

Add the MonkeyDojo Playbook and optional extra 1:1 to remove friction and keep momentum. You bring context and curiosity; we wire attention, memory, and load into design, and build rooms that move people from inspiration to action.

  • 🧠 Brain Room: attention, memory, load, spacing, wired into choices

  • 🏯 Dojo Floor: space, experience, energy; Training Triage in action

  • 📅 Format: 1 full day + 45 min 1:1 guidance

  • 📘 Tools: templates, catchers; optional Playbook & 1:1 coaching

‘’...allow yourself to dance with the room.’’

That’s why great training design is more than a sequence of steps. It’s a set of principles that allow you to dance with the room.

  • Preventing cognitive overload means you understand how much the brain can actually take in and you design for depth, not overwhelm.

  • Navigating complexity means you accept that learning is messy and nonlinear, and you help participants find clarity without oversimplifying.

  • Training triage means you can rapidly assess what’s happening in the room and adapt your plan without losing the thread.

  • And knowing the fundamental attribution error means you avoid blaming participants for disengagement and instead look at the system, the design, and the environment you’ve created.

This is where the playbook ends, and true facilitation begins.

When you stop clinging to the script and start working with what’s alive in the moment.
