Facilitating Groups Course Details

FACILITATING GROUPS:
MANAGING STRATEGY, CONFLICT , MEETINGS , MASTERMINDS , THINK-TANKS and MULTI-STAKEHOLDER NEGOTIATIONS

FIRST TIME EVER – 6 DAYS OVER 4 MONTHS

How often do you leave meetings thinking that the time and the mental capacity of the people present was not fully utilized?

How often do you attend strategy sessions where two or three dominant personalities do most of the talking and the great ideas in other people’s heads walk out the door unspoken?

How often are you in multi-stakeholder negotiations or discussions and a lot is said, little captured and even less agreed and you leave still unclear about what the actual purpose was?

These are common messages reported throughout all segments of the business world and are an indication of a great opportunity.

The opportunity to be able to facilitate and manage groups in an efficient, productive and purposeful fashion that stimulates focus, unlocks and unites minds, creates clarity, liberates innovation, find common ground, create that elusive consensus and most importantly delivers what is agreed awaits you.
