Are your meetings conducted to encourage discussion or accomplish goals?

Not everyone can facilitate meetings or deliver training successfully.  Training sessions and key meetings can fall flat if the delivery isn't optimal.

Effective Facilitation^TM is a one-day workshop that addresses learning enhancement and insures more productive meetings that produce outcomes.

Basic Responsibilities:  Being a facilitator is not the same as being a teacher or instructor.  What is your role as a facilitator in a training setting?  In a meeting?

The Facilitator's Training Tool Box:  How do you prepare for a training session?  How will you engage participants to foster learning and adoption?

Dialogue vs. Discussion:  Is there a difference and what is it?  How do you contribute to fostering dialogue?

Generate, Collect and Organize Ideas:  As facilitators how do you help groups brainstorm new ideas effectively?  Once you've accomplished creative thinking, how do you help the group sort through all the ideas to develop new action plans or behaviors?

Getting to a Decision:  If you find yourself facilitating a meeting, how do you get to a decision or outcome?  What are the techniques available to you to facilitate decision making?

Dealing with Tough Behaviors:  Groups invariably include individuals who may not buy into processes, direction, or purpose.  What are the typical negative behaviors that can undermine efforts?  As facilitators how do you prevent these behaviors from being demonstrated?  And how do you deal with these behaviors once exhibited?

Conduct an Effective Facilitation^TM workshop to insure that your training sessions produce the learning objectives you've established and that your meetings are optimized to produce outcomes.
