Hands on, experiential training
We create an environment where you can look at your work practices with safety and lightness. Our work is lively, experiential and practical – and fosters your emotional resilience, which we see a key point of difference in our program to many other training providers.
A large part of the program is devoted to practicing your skills using situations you want to work on. We encourage you to bring real-life examples, and allow time to address individual needs and issues you face in the workplace. And we have a bit of fun along the way!
Facilitating is like swimming: you can’t learn without getting in the water – so our training is highly hands-on and experiential.
-
Our training is unique practical and hands-on. We encourage people to embody the learning by practicing using real life examples.
We are leaders in the field of facilitation training and education. Since the early 1990s we have worked with hundreds of organisations from the corporate sector, government, not-for-profit organisations and community groups.
We give you a practical, well-framed approach to build skills, self-awareness and confidence.
We differ from most communications skills courses in our approach to emotional intelligence – what we prefer to call emotional resilience. Challenges can be handled much more effectively when you understand what holds you back as a facilitator.
