Who is this course for?
This course can benefit management of all levels. Team leads, and executives from various functions can directly benefit from facilitation abilities in their meetings held each week. Aspiring leaders seeking to take charge of people and ideas regardless of profession are also well suited.

Who can benefit from facilitation skills training?
Facilitation skills are highly underrated but incredibly useful in various situations. Client meetings, internal boardroom discussions and even general group huddles can be made much more effective and impactful.
What will I learn in a facilitation skills course?
You’ll learn a unique way of asking questions, setting objectives and toeing the line between a guide and a leader in a meeting to ensure every participant gets their ideas out and feels respected. All this while we actually see progress from meetings.
What formats are available?
The workshop is available in a variety of formats from 2-hours, half-day, 1-day and 2-day. Depending on the size of the cohort and depth of learning and application required, we’ll recommend accordingly.
What make-up of the teams are recommended?
We often recommend this course to organisations with staff that are within the same team. This ensures contextually, the material taught can be applied in circumstances they all experience each day.
What if I need specific help with my issues?
Our programs are partially customised to meet client needs. However, if you find challenges that require focused help, we highly recommend considering working with our instructors for one-to-one coaching.
