Foundations of Gestalt Facilitation (Live-Online)
For Group Leaders, Managers, Trainers, Consultants and Coaches
Facilitation skills are increasingly recognized as an essential competence for managers, leaders and others responsible for ensuring groups, teams and organizations successfully achieve their objectives.
These skills are also an essential competence for consultants and coaches seeking to better serve their clients in this time of rapid change, polarized public discourse, increasing diversity, and globalization.
A facilitator manages process and contributes structure to meetings and events to ensure that groups work and learn collaboratively, function effectively and make high quality decisions.
A skilled facilitator selectively applies tools and techniques to help groups:
- Work together effectively
- Create the environment or conditions for individuals to bring their best contributions
- Harness individual and collective potential and productivity to achieve desired outcomes.
This highly experiential program gives participants the opportunity to acquire and practice the essential skills of facilitation, ensuring the learning can be readily and effectively applied immediately upon return to work.
