Training content – Self-awareness at Work
This training is a balance between Groupwork Institute input, and a focus on people’s particular learning needs and challenges. The day will be participatory and practical – and even a bit of fun!
Specific input would draw from the following areas:
Understanding ourselves in groups
The more we understand our own inner ‘selves’ and their interplay, the better self-aware we will be. First facilitate thyself! Come prepared to know (and accept) yourself better!
- getting to know your ‘inner selves’ through use of the Community of Selves model
- getting to know and working on the fears and other self-limiting messages that hold us back or get in the way
- develop the emotional resilience to manage our own reactions to challenging dynamics
Dynamics
So much of what goes on in groups and communities has an emotional content. Much of it is to do with our unconscious. Gaining an understanding of these dynamics enables participants to better harness the full potential of the people they are working with.
Micro-skills
There are a range of key micro-skills needed for effectively working with others. These allow us to:
- hear and validate people’s contribution
- synthesise group wisdom
- welcome difference – facilitate strongly held differing views
- deal with un-spoken dynamics
Giving ‘hearable’ feedback
To be resilient we need to be able to say what we need to say and hear what we need to hear. This helps us to communicate across our differences.

Capacity to undertake this training
We have been providing independent facilitation services since 1984, and have been training facilitators since 1998. In 2001 we first offered the yearlong Advanced Diploma of Group Facilitation, the first of its kind in the world.
We are collaborative workplace specialists and all of our training programs integrate topics related to self-awareness.
This training draws from:
- Our model of collaborative practice which has evolved over the last 30+years, underpins our approach to all training. Emotional resilience and self-awareness are key components of this model.
- The units we have developed in our Advanced Diploma of Management and Group Facilitation. These Advanced Diplomas are nationally recognised qualifications, which are, in effect, courses we have founded on collaboration, self-awareness and emotional resilience.
