Essential Facilitation™

Tuesday, September 1 - Thursday, September 3 | 9:00am - 5:00pm, PT each day

The skills and techniques offered in Essential Facilitation™ are designed to produce significant performance improvement, career development, and personal growth. Essential Facilitation™ shows how to effectively facilitate in situations that have one or more of the following "three Cs":

• Complex or high-stakes content.
• Conflict — the situation is emotionally-charged or controversial.
• Context — when you must balance multiple stakeholders' needs and points of view.

Learning Objectives In this course you will:

• Develop in-depth preparation skills, including mastering the one task you MUST complete before the start of any meeting.
• Get best practices for facilitating virtual meetings.
• Learn to solve problems before they start and handle them with confidence if they do arise.
• Practice the four essential guidelines for resolving conflict.
• Receive a whole toolkit of skills and strategies to help groups make better decisions, faster.
• Learn to navigate difficult situations and cope with challenging behaviors.
• Learn the five simple steps to take after the meeting to ensure you get results.

Workshop Series Price
$3,200 which includes 3 full days of Workshop Sessions, two catered meals per day (breakfast and lunch), and Processing Fee. Please note: tickets are non refundable unless otherwise stated.

Venue Address
Klamath (Historic Ship)
Pier 9, The Embarcadero, San Francisco, CA 94111

Please note: This training takes place aboard the Historic Klamath, a fully renovated ship that remains securely moored at the dock. That said, as it sits on the water, there can be some movement. We provide acupressure wristbands for all participants, and if you know you're particularly sensitive to motion, we'd recommend bringing Dramamine as well. There will be ample breaks throughout the day to step outside and get some fresh air, and we encourage everyone to take care of themselves so they can get the most out of the workshop. Feel free to reach out with any questions before the session.

PDU Information
After attending Essential Facilitation™, graduates who are members of PMI are eligible to report up to 24 PDUs for the program.
