EXTREME FACILITATION

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Facilitation is a role that demands exceptional interpersonal skills, keen observation, insight and tact. The facilitator is a director, coach and catalyst. They must create a safe environment even as they push people out of their comfort zone. Facilitators must drive for results even as they allow participants to find their own answers. And they must lead the effort even as they give control to others.

This three-day program provides participants with the opportunity to learn master facilitation techniques, develop relevant exercises and practice in front of a group of discerning peers. Daily videotaping and individualized feedback sessions enable the participants to improve their skills rapidly.
