Description:

Great facilitation is not just about what a facilitator DOES in a meeting, it’s about how a facilitator IS in a meeting. In this workshop, participants will examine the internal and interpersonal thoughts and behaviors that make the difference between meetings that are simply adequate and great meetings that engage meaningful participation, strengthen interpersonal working relationships, and empower groups to get things done. Participants will:

  • Understand how individual social identities and experiences influence the ways we design and facilitate meetings.
  • Know what it means to be self aware and develop skills to increase awareness in self and team members.
  • Recognize a socially-intelligent mindset for facilitation.
  • Anticipate barriers to participation and skillfully read the room to engage participants.
  • Break down assumptions in order to recognize and respond to participant needs and facilitate fairly and inclusively.

Cost: $265 member, $355 non-member, $175 student member
