Facilitation Skills for Professionals Workshop

 

 

Facilitation Skills for Professionals workshop – One Day

 Purpose

This workshop equips business professionals with the tools and frameworks to become more successful in staff engagement and applied, participatory learning techniques.

What it is

Using facilitation in business settings means focusing on practices that improve the group’s collective energy — in engagement, collaboration and debate — to support individual learning and performance. What you are managing certainly counts, but it’s how you manage that will define what your team or workshop participants actually take away. Their active participation will lead to sharper skills, deeper understanding and an attitude of lifelong learning.

Course summary

This experiential workshop will give participants the tools, skills, and confidence to facilitate any group activity:

  • Discover the power of silence, powerful listening, and powerful questioning
  • Discover your own facilitative teaching style through practice, coaching and feedback from your peers.
  • Learn by doing in this experiential learning program.

 Course outcomes

  • Practice a range of interventions, processes, and techniques to
    • increase engagement, participation and independent learning
    • prevent difficult workplace dynamics.
  • Create a safe and empowering group culture.
  • Be comfortable with a wide range of behaviours and handle conflict effectively.
  • Increased emotional competence and confidence to role-model social engagement techniques.
