The Impact
"When people more effectively learn 'how to' use group facilitation skills to engage, empower, and collaborate, the more able society will be at solving any problem of the 21st Century, making the world a better place." read The Must-Have Critical Skill-Set...
I Don’t Just Provide Instruction…
In my FoCuSeD™ Facilitation classes, I don’t just provide instruction. I provide you with content and then we discuss, practice, and relate it to your work and life. You bring your concerns, your past experiences, and your questions. I share my 39 plus years of accomplishments and mistakes, so we learn from each other making the class a personal development experiential session. I keep my classes small so that I have time to devote to you. The assigned topics you facilitate relate to real life making learning relevant. I want you to continue learning and developing your new skills, so I provide you with my over 600-page reference manual that reinforces what I teach, and you learn. In short, you get my devoted time, energy, passion, and experiences inspiring you to immediately apply your new skills.
“Learning new skills is not an event, it’s an ongoing process.”
What distinguishes our FoCuSeD™ Classes is the consistent message that they provide. They provide consistency in terminology, models, and concepts that are built upon the fundamental principles of facilitation. They share ideas using a consistent basis of understanding - this ensures that everyone holds the same fundamental principles. They are effective, comprehensive, and provide a complete set of skills, knowledge, and practice - this ensures that what is learned, is immediately applicable. They provide specific tools to effectively work with groups in any capacity and be successful - this builds capacity within the organization. You learn "how to" effectively combine Relationship Behavior and Task Behavior to drive out task success along with team performance - this ability is crucial to bringing people together to accomplish a task.
"Our FoCuSeD™ Facilitation Classes enhance whatever you do wherever you go in business and in life."
"Yesterday, I was a participant in an offsite meeting most of the day and there were 2 people with constant side-bar conversations and it was distracting. We know each other pretty well so I chastised them at the end of the day. But then, (with a smile) announced to the group that I was going to apply my “Gary Rush Facilitation” training and stood by their table, just silently hovering. It got their attention and we all had a good laugh. I expect better behavior from them today! Thought I’d drop you a note and let you know that the tips and techniques learned in your classes (albeit 10+ years ago) are alive and well and executed on a regular basis."
