A Class in Facilitation

A Class in Facilitation

a selection of powerful ideas and tools for leading groups and managing meetings

WHAT’S THE INTENTION?

To learn to lead.

To lead pleasant, productive and purposeful meetings and groups.

WHY ARE WE DOING THAT?

Managing people and leading groups is difficult:

  • Loud voices can dominate and distract
  • Tension and conflict wastes energy and time
  • People are vulnerable and we get hurt
  • Over-talking and interruptions are undermining
  • The leader, in charge, is expected to know what should be done

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?

Pleasant, productive and purposeful meetings have the following characteristics:

  • Behaviour is respectful
  • Decisions are taken
  • Plans are actioned
  • Learning occurs
  • Participants are empowered and feel safe
  • Contributions are committed (there’s follow up and follow through)

WHO’S IT FOR?

This workshop is for mangers, trainers, leaders, event organisers, and people working with groups and in teams.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

This workshop mixes some guided group discussion with talking pieces by the tutor (the top ten tips) – often illustrated with some example stories.
