I co-hosted a workshop for the Learn WordPress online meetup.
Preparation makes your first attempt a memorable and successful one.
Highlights:
More than 60 folks showed interest
Thirty attended the workshop live.
I said the word “hopefully” multiple times.
I was mindful of the time and could cover whatever I planned for the workshop.

Takeaways:
Preparation is important.
Plan your content.
Explain everything within the context of the target audience.
AI code suggestions and prepared code snippets can be helpful.

Avoid being the expert and be a student.
Be ready to learn from others.
Ask questions and make sure the participants follow along.
Special thanks to Jonathan & Kathryn of training team for planning and guiding me throughout this process.
