Overview

Effective facilitation is a must-have key competency for managers, consultants and facilitators. It is a skill that must be present for making sense and taking action when things become uncertain and ambiguous. The ability to confidently lead a group through decision-making and problem-solving processes is invaluable in the workplace.

The Advanced Facilitation Skills Course deepens and explores the nature of advanced facilitation techniques in complex group dynamics. This course involves highly practical group work, real-world exercises and extensive peer review.

Who is this course for?

Experienced facilitators, managers, HR, OD, L&D professionals or change agents who want to enhance your personal understanding of self as an expert in terms of your role as a facilitator
Those who wish to establish a deeper understanding of their own principles and approaches to advanced facilitation techniques
Those who desire to focus on areas of personal development throughout and after the course
