Facilitation practice – everything at once! (5 weekly sessions)

Topic

This class is geared towards people who have already done our facilitation training (or a comparable experience level) and want to improve their facilitation dramatically. We expect you know how to run picture forming and proposal shaping, you know how to run a consent process, and you know how to do a selection process.

Now it’s time to highlight and master all the stuff in between: when people object and it’s not easy to address their objection, or if it’s not clear what their objection is. When there are too many options on the table and everyone feels overwhelmed. When you’re under time pressure and you need to find common ground fast.

Topics

• Integrating objections
• Drama triangle – and how to facilitate when things are difficult
• delegating work, taking shortcuts, special selection processes
