In-House Refresher Workshop
OverviewOur Facilitating with Ease workshop provides the ‘foundational’ elements for getting started as a facilitator, but getting better at facilitation demands constant vigilance in applying the skills on at least a monthly basis. Yet graduates from our core workshop don’t always have the chance to frequently facilitate or, all of the sudden, find that they have to facilitate but have forgotten some of the techniques they learned. As well, many past graduates have requested additional hands-on learning where they can continue to acquire straightforward feedback and go more in-depth with some of the basic skills.
This one-day workshop therefore aims at enhancing personal mastery of the basic facilitation skills in a safe and interactive learning environment.
By the End of this Workshop Participants Will:- Review key themes from our two-day Facilitating with Ease workshop to ensure clarity and understanding
