Facilitation Skills
It is impossible to be part of an organisation today and not have to present or run a meeting at some time or another. Staff meetings, project meetings, planning and coordinating meetings—they all need a clear purpose and firm hand to be efficient and effective.
With its focus on asking rather than telling, and listening to build consensus, facilitation is the new leadership ideal, the core competency everybody needs. Managers and supervisors are often asked to facilitate rather than instruct, or to manage their meetings and training sessions in this manner. Facilitation skills do not come naturally, but they can be learned.
This workshop has been created to make core facilitation skills readily available for your organisation. It presents materials and ideas that have been tested and refined over twenty years of active facilitation in all types of settings.
- Highlights of what participants will learn:
- Distinguish facilitation from instruction and training;
- Identify the competencies linked to effective group facilitation;
- Explore the difference between content and process;
- Identify the four stages of team development and ways to help teams through each stage;
- Use common process tools to make meetings easier and more productive.
If you are responsible for the organising, running or participating in instructing or training staff or running meetings, or want to create a consistent group facilitation methodology for your organisation, this is the program for you.
