"Why learn Facilitation skills? Because they are a set of behavioral skills that through engaging, empowering, and collaborating, enhance job performance.  These are the ultimate "soft" skills."

Why?  These are the most important skills to develop in the 21^st century.  Because:  A collaborative revolution is coming, and you need to be prepared with the needed critical skills for success.  The ability to bring people together and accomplish good work is a skill set that is easily transferrable from one role or business to another.  Anyone who deals with people benefits from group facilitation skills – properly facilitated, groups develop better ideas that benefit the greater whole.  How?  I provide you with specific facilitation tools to ensure collaborative useful solutions.  See Facilitation Skills in Business and in Life.

This 1-day highly interactive class teaches you not only “how to”; it also teaches you to understand the “why” so that you gain engagement, support, and commitment.  This class covers a set of group facilitation skills and tools along with a Problem-Solving Process.  This provides a basis for other techniques such as Six Sigma.  This class develops Servant Leaders.

"This class is ideal for all people."

This class is available publicly (virtual via Zoom), and in-house anywhere in the world. Please contact us for additional information, pricing, and scheduling.
