Train the Trainer June 2-3 - Facilitation Skills Intensive, Toronto

Are you looking to equip yourself with enhanced group facilitation skills to work with groups? I'll be holding the two-day Facilitation Skills Intensive in downtown Toronto on Monday June 2 and Tuesday June 3rd. We are three weeks away from the start of the program and I hope that you will join me for this hands-on deep dive into group facilitation issues.


This program is for professionals who are keen to learn more about, and practice, the techniques, skills and approaches of group facilitation. This is an intensive small group learning experience and typical group size is 5-10 professionals. We will be looking at skills that are useful in workshops, retreats, teleclasses, and other instances when you work with groups.

The program will provide you with an opportunity to explore:
• 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) including room set up, media use and other logistics

Participants will also create a personal development/action plan including strategies to further practice their new facilitation skills in their work.

This two day program will be running on Monday and Tuesday June 2-3 (hours 8:30 - 5 day 1, 8:30-4:30 day 2) and will be held in downtown Toronto, accessible by public transit. Those coming in from out of town can benefit from a special room rate at the hotel until May 15th. Contact us for more info.
