THE ARTFUL FACILITATOR: GUIDING GROUPS TO COLLABORATIVE RESULTS

 

In today's collaborative work environment, leaders are expected to facilitate group discussions and decision making among diverse points of view. In doing so, they may encounter competing agendas, conflicts of interest and stakeholders who monopolize a discussion while others remain stoically silent. In this highly- interactive seminar, participants will learn and practice the skills for facilitating dynamic, interactive discussions focused on producing impactful results. This seminar is ideal for anyone who wishes to implement a strategy session, lead a project team, enable collaborative learning or work through team issues.

As part of the seminar, participants will practice facilitating using real life client or internal business situations. Lessons will be supported with a blend of solid technique and practical feedback.
