LEARNING EXPERIENCE DESIGN WITH • C2 MONTREAL & MOVIN'ON SUMMIT•
|
In 2020, for the first online version of C2, I designed masterclasses for Malcolm Gladwell & John Cohn, and hosted workshops with Atölye, SYP, David Pearl, Hatch & the Creative Leaders Circle (CLC).
Following the success of the event, I went on to host a series of workshops on Aging, Resilience and Future cities with Hakuhodo's Innovation Garden Initiative, as well as a report presentation series with GPAI, the global partnership on artificial intelligence. |

In the 2019 edition of C2 Montreal, I trained and oversaw a group of 20 facilitators that delivered over 70 exciting and interactive workshops for a wide variety of partners, including Salesforce, Element AI, Microsoft, BMW, Blue man group, Gsoft, Onedrop, RBC Foundation, RISE Kombucha, Moment Factory, Verizon & ONF.
I participated in the creation of a highly successful speed coaching session that took place within a luxury vehicule, as well as two innovative experiential labs. In In the Dark, participants sharpened their listening and communication while participating in a team challenge in the complete darkness. In Alter Ego, participants explored dormant traits in their personality then created an exciting new alter ego using the Enneagram Framework. Finally, I did the learning experience design for several high profile masterclasses of which the official descriptions are below. What the client said:
Ez brings a wonderful mix of out-the-box, creative, wild ideas with a strong strategic, problem-solving, mindset. At C2, he demonstrated great skills at taking an idea sketched on a napkin to a real-life business conference. He designed beautiful masterclasses working with C2's most renowned speakers as well as coached our community of C2 facilitators. His authenticity and his intentional feedback will help you push your thinking and your team. |
