Facilitation is the core competency everybody needs.
Debate or Dialogue: Using Dynamic Facilitation for More Productive Meetings Overview
It is impossible to be part of an organization today and not attend meetings. Staff meetings, project meetings, planning and coordinating meetings—they all take time.
There has been a growing realization that we have to pay attention to the process elements of meetings, if we want them to be effective. With its focus on asking rather than telling, and listening to build consensus, facilitation is the new leadership ideal. Managers and supervisors are often asked to facilitate rather than instruct or manage their meetings and training sessions.
This two-day workshop has been created to make core facilitation skills better understood and readily available for your organization.
