Meeting Facilitation

This workshop is designed for individuals with an understanding of basic facilitation who want to take their skills to the next level. The key to success for a facilitator is the ability to focus on process so the group can achieve its objectives. Effective facilitators perform a number of tasks, including: establishing agendas with clearly identified outcomes, capturing critical discussions, issues, solutions, and action steps, and, most importantly, establishing an environment which allows for collaboration, participation, information-sharing, and creative problem-solving. Working with a small group of fellow facilitators, and led by a highly experienced facilitator/trainer, participants in this workshop will have the chance to hone their skills in a challenging yet safe environment. The workshop examines the process behind planning and implementing effective meetings and off-sites.
