Essential Facilitation™

Tuesday, March 9 - Thursday, March 11 | 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.
