Facilitation Skills Intensive - Toronto: December 17-18, 2013

Are you looking to add facilitation skills to your toolbox to more effectively work with teams or groups

next year? I'll be running a two day in person group facilitation skills training program (train-the-trainer) for those looking for more resources to do great work with teams and groups. The program is a mix of content as well as practice in working with small groups. The program will be held in the Toronto area on Tuesday December 17 (8:30 - 5:30) and Wednesday December 18 (8:30 - 4). We will also follow up with a one hour call in January.

We will be exploring topics such as:


The skills, competencies and best practices of successful facilitators,

• How your skills compare through a Facilitator Self-Assessment,

• How to identify participant learning styles and preferences,
and implement facilitation techniques to accommodate them
• How to be sensitive to different phases of group formation and how to adapt your facilitation style to meet the different needs,
• How to create a positive climate for learning,

• Specific techniques on how to deal with difficult participants,
• Specific techniques to conduct and debrief learning activities,
• How to manage the logistics and finer details of a learning event (in-person or virtually/by phone)

 
The program will be of interest to new and experienced facilitators who want to add more tools to their toolbox, as well as get further practice working with groups. Program size is limited to 8-10 participants, with group size typically between 5-10.

Cost: $795 plus HST for the two day program. This includes a program binder (80 pages) with resources and templates to support you in your work, a pre-call with Jennifer and a post-group call.

With best wishes,
