Managers, leaders and other professionals are increasingly asked to facilitate meetings of all kinds, including sales meetings, project meetings, team meetings, focus groups, consultations, and so on – the list is endless! Having great facilitation skills will boost your ability to help others maximise their contribution in a wide variety of team or group situations. Stimulating and managing group dynamics can deliver highly effective results.
In this course you’ll develop a better understanding of the role of the facilitator, how it differs from, for example, chairing a meeting, delivering a briefing or running a training session, and how facilitation techniques can add value to all those situations and more.
Common questions we hear from those attending this course include:
- How can I get more from the meetings I run?
- What’s the difference between chairing and facilitating a meeting?
- How can I manage group processes more effectively?
- How can I manage challenging people in group situations and make sure everyone can contribute?
- This is a highly participative and experiential workshop, in which you’ll learn, and get to practise using, a wide variety of facilitation tools and approaches. You’ll run your own facilitated session and get feedback from your trainer and peers to enhance your facilitation skills further.
