Facilitation Essentials

Course Duration: 2 Days

Introduction

Facililators today are struggling to maintain their enthusiasm and motivation, and our learners are increasingly cynical about the whole process, Both groups are also weighed down by decades of boring, uninspiring training content that does not get any more interesting when you place it online. Studies across all ages and cultures of learners confirm that personal interaction, in the same room, focused by an expert facilitator, is the most effective and impactful form for genuine learning.

Right now is the time to develop and activate expert facilitation skills. The days of canned presentations delivered by public speakers are over. Be a leader of learning who can bring about real outcomes, meaningful behavior change and excite people about continuing to learn. This program can support the connections between the company's need for sustainable progress and developing people as a team. It can synchronize all those learning curves within one, all-encompassing learning arc through new, genuine and impassioned approaches to modern facilitation.
