Introduction to Facilitating Groups

Virtual Chapter Meeting

Join us to learn a comprehensive methodology that will guide you through any facilitated session that includes preparing, starting, executing, and closing a session while managing group dynamics like handling dysfunction, getting to consensus, and keeping the energy high.

In this session you will learn six key tools you can begin using immediately:

  • The Facilitator's Methodology which will work for every facilitated session.
  • The questions to answer so that you can confidently understand the session purpose and prepare for the session.
  • A formula for opening any session that answers the key questions participants have including "Why am I here?" and "Why should I care?"
  • Understanding dysfunctional behavior (hint: it's a symptom!)
  • A formula for addressing dysfunctional behavior that works every time!
  • Techniques for dealing with the "Naysayer" participant.
12:00 PM - 1:00 PM CST

Non-Members: $20
