Learn the art of effective facilitation

Effective facilitation enables people and groups to work well together. It enhances communication, fosters creativity and makes space for difference and sound decision-making.

Our two-day training provides you with the foundational skills, principles and self-awareness required for good facilitation.

What will I learn?

During our two day course, you can develop:

  • Practical facilitation: group processes and the skills required to apply them

  • Understand the essential principles of facilitation

  • Create safety and welcome difference to harness group wisdom

  • Ability to maximise participation

  • Develop greater self-awareness in groups

  • Emotional resilience

  • Skills to make meetings work well

  • Capacity to manage hotspots and challenging conversations

  • Confidence to facilitate challenging group dynamics

This training is versatile and can be applied to all facilitation areas; organisational, community engagement and therapeutic.

The training is oriented towards your learning needs. We welcome your challenges and aspirations into the course.  This provides opportunity to practice your learning in situations most meaningful to you.

Facilitating is like swimming: you can’t learn without getting in the water – so our training is highly hands-on and experiential.

Why with us?

We are internationally recognised as leaders in the field of facilitation education and training, having established this work in 1984. This 2 day course, derived from our Advanced Group Facilitation Program, is consistently booked out.

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.

In the words of our students…

“Unusually fun and enjoyable for a work training. Great environment!” (Freya)

“I loved that everything we were learning was being modeled by the facilitators - so we could see and feel it in action. The facilitators felt very genuine and I loved that they kept things light and easy - while teaching and sharing so much knowledge.” (Jane)

“The facilitators were exceptional in: creating a safe, comfortable and chill environment, keeping to time, keeping the content understandable and achievable, clear instructions, allowing us to be human and diverse. I liked that the course wasn't simply, "here are a bunch of activities you can do", but rather focused on the self awareness and what we, as facilitators, can control and how we can work with ourselves to create that confidence to facilitate and feel good in the role. Also loved no handouts or PowerPoints!”
