The Facilitator’s Toolkit is a short course that will refresh the basics of facilitator style and provide you with new ways and confidence to lead groups and teams. It is designed for those who want to consolidate, broaden and enliven their style of facilitation. Whilst you will be provided with facilitation models, tools and tips, we recognise that the greatest resource you bring to groups is yourself and the impact that you have in engaging, leading and developing others.
In this two day workshop you will
explore your role as group facilitator with particular attention to
skills practice and awareness building in the live group setting.
We will introduce you to Dimensions of
Facilitator Style, a practical toolkit designed to equip you with the
confidence and skill to effectively handle group processes and group
tasks, paying attention to structure and interventions before, during
and after an event. You will learn how to direct and guide groups
hierarchically, and to work in cooperative and autonomous ways too,
as appropriate. You will be encouraged to become aware of your own
skills, experience, personality and preferences, and use and flex
your facilitator style with self-awareness, authority and personal
presence.
