The Essence of Facilitation

A two and a half day workshop that will powerfully enhance your group managment skills in all settings as you actively practice the best of the practical and more subtle aspects of facilitation.

“The wise leader’s ability does not rest on techniques or gimmicks or set exercises. The method of awareness-of-process applies to all people and all situation.”  - Lao Tzu

LEARNING CONTENT

• The facilitators role and impact on others
• Creating safe environments for optimum results
• The many ‘hats’ a facilitator wears
• What is the skill set of an effective facilitator?
• Managing group dynamics
• Icebreakers, process and exercise set-ups and debriefs
• Clarifying purpose
• Dealing with egos, conflicts and impass
• The role of intuition
• The principles of enabling
• Effective framing and reframing
• The basics of running a purposeful meeting
• Using feedback as an empowerment tool
• Thriving on the unexpected

This programme focuses on process and skill development.  The methodology is principles based, highly practical and experiencial. Open to graduates of The Essence of Presenting or Essentially Speaking. Note: Experienced facilitators can apply for this programme without the prerequisite and will be considered on a case by case basis.

HOW DOES THE WORKSHOP WORK FOR YOU?

The nature of this workshop is highly experiencial.  You will have the opportunity to learn about facilitation per se and also you as facilitator.  By the end of the workshop you will be more aware of your own patterns of thinking and behaviour and how profoundly you influence others.  Each participant will have an opportunity to ‘work the group’ on a facilitation related topic so your practise and session content are maximised.  You will leave the course confident you have the skills to continue your own development as you support others in moving forward in theirs. 

WHO IS THIS COURSE FOR?

• People who want more confidence and competence in facilitation 
• Anyone who runs meetings and knows they could be more productive
• Leaders who want to unlock more potential in their teams
• Professional facilitators who want to further hone their craft
• Anyone who has an interest in group psychology and team effectiveness
