Facilitation skills
This training provides the basic skills to prepare and lead a successful meeting or workshop. Companies that hold focused - and therefore more efficient - meetings, with a dash of creativity, make better decisions and invest in their employees' job happiness.
Approach
- During a 1-day training we introduce the how and why of different facilitation techniques.
- There is the possibility to divide into 2 half days, so we can work on intermediate learning moments.
- Topics are treated as a combination of theory and exercises.
- Participants bring examples from practice, on which further work is done.
- Each session offers the opportunity to exchange experiences with other participants and receive feedback on their own developed facilitation skills.
- The learning experience is supported and enhanced through the use of an online learning platform.
- A training certificate can be provided.
