workshop leader

Guides group learning

A workshop leader is the person who facilitates a workshop—guiding participants through activities, discussions, or skill-building exercises.

The role combines instruction with group management: The workshop leader broke us into small groups for the brainstorming session.

Unlike a lecturer, a workshop leader typically encourages active participation rather than passive listening.
