Whether you are facilitating a training session or a group discussion, this course is a must for those who desire to improve their facilitation skills. The need for dynamic facilitation skills has never been greater for organisations as they seek to find effective ways to solve problems and build ‘buy-in to’ decisions.
Facilitation is a trusted tool for sharing ideas, delivering messages and collaborating with others. It is a supportive role and a tool to assist the flow of conversation, with the primary aim of working towards better outcomes. Generally, a facilitator is a neutral to semi-neutral party who helps a group to meet key objectives or to assist in the process of coming to conclusions around shared topics. They are a team player and are very aware of the group dynamics.
The Facilitator Training Workshop focuses on the key skills required for good communication, collaboration, problem solving, as well as managing group conflicts with ease. The session is filled with interactive activities, exercises and role plays to ensure a deep learning experience.
