One Day Core Workshop:
The Art of Facilitation: How to Run Effective Meetings
Every Time.
This course will enable you to:
- Describe the facilitator's role and what he/she does.
- Develop a results-focused agenda to ensure productive meetings.
- Open and close a meeting effectively.
- Demonstrate (in class and in your own environment) at least
10 essential facilitation skills.
In this one-day core workshop for both new and seasoned facilitators,
you learn skills that make meetings work. This workshop names the
skills you thought facilitators magically "performed,"
and enables you to use them easily.
You learn the skills and then practice them by facilitating a small-group
discussion of a real-life "hot topic." The learning is
solidified through the practical, useable feedback you receive on
your use of the skills.

 How to Make Decisions Without Killing Each Other: Skills
for Facilitators and Group Members
Effective decision-making lies at the heart
of productive group work. But many facilitators don’t know
how to help a group achieve truly sustainable decisions.
This four-hour, on-site workshop provides facilitators and
group members with an essential understanding of the decision-making
function. It also provides practical skills to create agreements
in widely diverse situations. By the end of this workshop,
participants will be able to:
- Explain decision-making’s pivotal
role in groups.
- Name the three elements that must be present
for a decision to be fair.
- Describe when the use of each of eight decision-making
processes is appropriate.
- Demonstrate an easy-to-use form of consensus decision-making.
The workshop is very active. Participants will be able to apply
the skills immediately in their workplaces. For more information,
