Advanced Facilitation Training, 22 Jan
A challenging day that looks deeply at group dynamics and the role you play as a facilitator both online & face-to-face. This course helps facilitators deal with power, conflict & big personalities! A unique day of interactive and participatory learning to build your confidence as a facilitator or workshop leader.
In this training, you’ll be challenged, engaged, and hopefully excited while experiencing the power of deep facilitation. While this is a day of learning, it is also time for you to think about your work and share your experiences. You’ll be asked to analyse difficult situations and come up with your own solutions. You definitely won’t be staring at PowerPoint all day!
You will also develop your skills and attitudes as a facilitator in working with diverse groups and using participatory processes, whether online or face to face. We’ll look at what it means to be in the mindset of a facilitator rather than to just ‘do facilitation’.
The day will include:
- What it means to be a facilitator
- Online vs face-to-face group work
- How to support groups to recognise and work with their power dynamics
- Understand and deal with ‘problem’ behaviour
- Cultivate empathy and the appreciation of differences
- How to frame a group’s needs
- Using questions effectively to draw out the experience of a group
- Using non-hierarchal processes.
What this course isn’t…
What this course doesn’t cover is the more fundamental practical ‘tools & techniques’ for running meetings, workshops, etc. If that’s what you’re looking for then please see our other ‘Facilitation Training’ course.
Who should attend this course?
The event will benefit anyone working with groups of people in the role of facilitator/workshop leader both online & face-to-face. Although it does help to have some facilitation experience to draw upon, the day will also help the novice facilitator wanting a deep grounding in group dynamics.
