Facilitating

Click here for details of our open masterclass workshop for advanced facilitators

Have you ever watched a master facilitator at work and wished you could bottle the skills, behaviours and beliefs required?

You’ll enjoy learning and practising a range of tools and techniques, get precise feedback and develop your own unique style through coaching and collaboration with a group of your peers. You’ll be surprised as we go way beyond the tools and techniques and begin to develop the beliefs and capabilities normally associated with only the most “experienced” facilitators.

Designed for anybody who wants to improve their skills working with groups to achieve an outcome, these workshops are tailor-made to meet your precise needs. Participants will have heaps of practice, coaching and high-quality feedback. Whether your people are new to facilitating, or have been around the block and are seeking “mastery”, we can design the right workshop for you. Here’s some of the typical areas the workshop would explore:
