In this session\, we will dig for the realities of working as a facilitator with no expectation that we will in ourselves or others discover perfection\, balance or permanence when it comes to wellbeing. Being ‘fit to facilitate’\, with all that implies around physical\, psychological and emotional health\, is a broad and daunting demand.

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. \nThe topic of Group Dynamics (the second two-day module) is introduced in the context of choosing an appropriate facilitation style and approach. \nClick here for a full course description\, or contact us for more information. \nBook ThisRead More URL:https://associationoffacilitators.co.uk/event/facilitation-skills-and-strategies-6-7-oct-2026/ LOCATION:Tallinn\, Estonia (Venue TBC) CATEGORIES:Facilitation Skills and Strategies,In Person,Training Courses ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://associationoffacilitators.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Cropped-scaled.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Association of Facilitators":MAILTO:info@associationoffacilitators.co.uk END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20261012T100000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20261013T163000 DTSTAMP:20260520T093032 CREATED:20250425T115727Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260506T081022Z UID:10000089-1791799200-1791909000@associationoffacilitators.co.uk SUMMARY:Group Dynamics DESCRIPTION:Click here for a full course description. \nThis is a standalone two-day course.  It can also be booked as the second module of the Foundations in Facilitation Skills Programme (5 days in total). \nDiscounts are available for not-for-profit and public sector organisations\, and for self-funded individuals.  Please contact us to discuss. \nBook ThisRead More×Book this Practitioner Accreditation EventPlease send us some basic information either by completing the form below\, or send us an email: \n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n First name*\n\n \n\n\n Last name*\n\n \n\n\n Email*\n\n \n\n\n Which Practitioner Accreditation Event?\n\n(enter Title/Date Check the calendar of events here )\n \n\n\n Any Comments\n\n \n\n\n *Required items\n \n Please tick to consent to send this information to us (Required for GDPR)*.\nTick to sign up for Guest Membership so you receive our Newsletter - Optional).\nFor further details\, please read our Privacy Policy here\n \n You should receive a thank you email from us after clicking send.

Emotions often arise in groups\, and part of the facilitator’s role is to handle such responses well enough for the group to move forward. This is enabled by the facilitator’s awareness of their own emotional state\, and by regulating their own responses well. \nIn recent years the concept of Trauma Informed Leadership has come to the fore\, encouraging the need for psychological safety in teams\, and awareness building among leaders. \nIn this Learning Lab we will take time to explore the practice of handling emotions\, our own responses and those of others. We will consider how to contract\, build safety\, and how to enquire into emotional energy. \nInvariably this session causes participants to reflect on their own emotions. In this learning Lab we will work with a light touch and in a way that informs our practice. \nSee below and our Calendar for forthcoming dates and book here. \nBook a Learning Lab×Enquire about a Learning LabClosePlease send us some basic information either by completing the form below\, or send us an email: \n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n First name*\n\n \n\n\n Last name*\n\n \n\n\n Email*\n\n \n\n\n Which Learning Lab?\n\n(enter Title/Date Check the calendar of events here )\n \n\n\n Any Comments\n\n \n\n\n *Required items\n \n Please tick to consent to send this information to us (Required for GDPR)*.\nTick to sign up for Guest Membership so you receive our Newsletter - Optional).\nFor further details\, please read our Privacy Policy here\n \n You should receive a thank you email from us after clicking send.

Emotions often arise in groups\, and part of the facilitator’s role is to handle such responses well enough for the group to move forward. This is enabled by the facilitator’s awareness of their own emotional state\, and by regulating their own responses well. \nIn recent years the concept of Trauma Informed Leadership has come to the fore\, encouraging the need for psychological safety in teams\, and awareness building among leaders. \nIn this Learning Lab we will take time to explore the practice of handling emotions\, our own responses and those of others. We will consider how to contract\, build safety\, and how to enquire into emotional energy. \nInvariably this session causes participants to reflect on their own emotions. In this learning Lab we will work with a light touch and in a way that informs our practice. \nSee below and our Calendar for forthcoming dates and book here. \nBook a Learning Lab×Enquire about a Learning LabClosePlease send us some basic information either by completing the form below\, or send us an email: \n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n First name*\n\n \n\n\n Last name*\n\n \n\n\n Email*\n\n \n\n\n Which Learning Lab?\n\n(enter Title/Date Check the calendar of events here )\n \n\n\n Any Comments\n\n \n\n\n *Required items\n \n Please tick to consent to send this information to us (Required for GDPR)*.\nTick to sign up for Guest Membership so you receive our Newsletter - Optional).\nFor further details\, please read our Privacy Policy here\n \n You should receive a thank you email from us after clicking send.

Such habits do us\, and others\, good. But it seems to be part of the human condition that we\, at times\, ‘do what we don’t want to do\, and don’t do what we want to do‘. \nSometimes the patterns we inhabit can be difficult to overcome\, often an inner struggle is experienced. If this sounds familiar\, relax – you are not alone! \nFrom ancient philosophers to modern psychologists\, habits and patterns have long been on the agenda. But what does this mean for us as practitioners? \nIn this Learning Lab we will offer a brief survey of relevant thinking and then take time to consider our own practice. We will explore concepts such as\, shadow material\, self and social regulation\, culture\, etc. The themes will focus us inward on our own personal development\, and outward to the groups and teams we facilitate. \n\nOnline Learning Labs\nCosts are £80 members\, £115 non-members (no VAT). \nSee below and our Calendar for forthcoming dates and book here. \nBook a Learning Lab×Enquire about a Learning LabPlease send us some basic information either by completing the form below\, or send us an email: \n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n First name*\n\n \n\n\n Last name*\n\n \n\n\n Email*\n\n \n\n\n Which Learning Lab?\n\n(enter Title/Date Check the calendar of events here )\n \n\n\n Any Comments\n\n \n\n\n *Required items\n \n Please tick to consent to send this information to us (Required for GDPR)*.\nTick to sign up for Guest Membership so you receive our Newsletter - Optional).\nFor further details\, please read our Privacy Policy here\n \n You should receive a thank you email from us after clicking send.

Simply becoming aware of the roles that we and others are playing in the drama triangle\, shifts us towards empowerment and away from drama. In the contrasting empowerment triangle\, roles are dynamic\, self-fulfilling and self-reinforcing and represent a positive form of the group dynamic and a positive way of being. \n\nOnline Learning Labs\nCosts are £80 members\, £115 non-members (no VAT). \nSee below and our Calendar for forthcoming dates and book here. \nBook a Learning Lab×Enquire about a Learning LabPlease send us some basic information either by completing the form below\, or send us an email: \n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n First name*\n\n \n\n\n Last name*\n\n \n\n\n Email*\n\n \n\n\n Which Learning Lab?\n\n(enter Title/Date Check the calendar of events here )\n \n\n\n Any Comments\n\n \n\n\n *Required items\n \n Please tick to consent to send this information to us (Required for GDPR)*.\nTick to sign up for Guest Membership so you receive our Newsletter - Optional).\nFor further details\, please read our Privacy Policy here\n \n You should receive a thank you email from us after clicking send.
