Facilitator Training Course
Course Overview
Facilitator Training Course is an immersive, hands-on learning experience designed to build, enhance, and refine facilitation skills. Participants engage in a dynamic mix of small and large group activities, discussions, and individual practice sessions, with a strong emphasis on real-time application, reflection, and feedback.
A distinctive feature of the course is the use of video-recorded facilitation exercises. These recordings provide participants with valuable feedback and powerful insights into their facilitation style and group interaction dynamics.
The course explores the key roles and behaviors of effective facilitators, methods for capturing and maintaining group memory, and techniques for ensuring meetings result in clear outcomes and actionable steps. It also addresses strategies for managing stress during facilitation, understanding the stages of group development and their influence on the facilitation process, and recognizing the various roles that group members play.
Participants receive practical job aids to support the transfer of learning to the workplace. This course is designed for managers who are currently facilitating or expect to do so in the future, as well as individuals who want to lead more effective meetings—even if they don’t view themselves as traditional leaders or subject matter experts.
