“Always On!” Facilitation Skills

10,000 Feet

This session equips participants to effectively handle facilitating for any group.  It focuses on aspects of ensuring total participation, guiding meetings towards consensus, tailoring the facilitation style to the objectives of the meeting, dealing with difficult participants and using physical positioning and non-verbal cues to control a room.  This is a “stand and deliver” training as well as robust with expert instruction.

Why?

Because good meetings and productive sessions don’t happen on accident.  It takes skilled, trained facilitators.  More importantly, BAD facilitation can derail even the most well-intentioned session.  Our facilitators walk away from our session well-prepped to get the MOST out of every meeting and prepared to avoid pitfalls that often foil the untrained.

Who Should Attend?

ANYONE who runs a meeting, delivers trainings, holds focus groups or needs to be the “chair” for group situation. Former attendees include: corporate managers, directors and C-Level executives, professional speakers, sales professionals, military war gaming facilitators and analysts, customer service personnel, managers, supervisors, entrepreneurs and college students.

This is the perfect program for “train the trainer” needs.

Duration

We offer both one-day and two-day formats, as well as longer sessions tailored upon request.  The advantage of the multiple-day format is far more “reps” on stage and hands-on time to improve quickly.

Group Size

The ideal group size is 10-14 participants.  Arrangements can be made for larger groups upon request, but additional facilitators may be required to ensure adequate attention and coaching for all participants.
