The 1-Workshop Workweek — Getting Started

60–90 min5–20 peopleRemote · Hybrid · In-person

A kick-off workshop that enables your team to work async-first using the 1-Workshop Workweek framework.

What is this workshop?

Most teams waste hours in meetings that could be replaced with a single well-run workshop. The 1-Workshop Workweek is a framework that helps your team shift to async-first collaboration — fewer interruptions, more focused work, and better decisions made together. This kick-off workshop gets your whole team aligned on the system from day one.

  • Fewer and better meetings
  • More time for focused, deep work
  • Work from anywhere, on your own schedule
  • A team that runs itself between workshops

What's included

  • Async-first principles overview
  • Communication channel agreements canvas
  • Response time norms builder
  • Weekly workshop schedule template

This is for you if…

  • Team leads who want fewer, better meetings
  • Managers of remote or hybrid teams struggling with coordination
  • Anyone whose team spends more time syncing than doing

Tips for first-time facilitators

  • Read the board sections the night before so you're not navigating it live.
  • Timebox each section to 15 minutes — it's easy to over-discuss norms.
  • Post the agreed norms in your team Slack channel immediately after — don't wait until tomorrow.
