Developing Facilitation Skills

Better communication. Better results. Better meetings.

Facilitation is the essential skill for anyone working collaboratively with others. With a focus on asking instead of telling, on listening, and on building consensus, the facilitator can help a group function effectively and to make quality decisions. Whether your next collaborative meeting is formal or informal is with coworkers next door or across the world, your facilitation skills can help achieve high performance.
The content of any meeting is WHAT is being discussed; the process deals with HOW things are being discussed. The facilitator uses core skills such as staying neutral, listening actively, and asking questions at strategic points to help manage the interaction of the discussion. This session will focus on developing these Core Practices.
