Good News for Facilitators


Is this you? You already know how to prepare and facilitate short, productive and focused meetings. What you're keen to do now is expand your current skills to facilitate meetings of longer duration, with diverse participants to achieve more involved and complex outcomes.

Good news! You don't have to start every meeting agenda from scratch.  For most broad meeting purposes (issue resolution, problem solving, action planning, process improvement), it is very helpful to follow a step by step, systematic framework to design your facilitation process and select the right facilitation methods for the work. Just like architects need blueprints to successfully build a house, facilitators need well-thought out designs for their meetings.

And even better!  With a carefully designed meeting, almost 98% of all problems and interpersonal dynamics can be pro-actively handled before your participants even show up in the room. At the end of this course, you will be able to custom-design meetings for problem-solving, issue resolution, and action planning meetings to build common ground and group consensus. And you will have a deeper understanding of how to prevent dysfunction and dynamics before the meeting begins.
