WHY THIS WORKSHOP

Communication skills are invaluable in home, work, and any problem solving environment! You will learn to aid people to find the best solution, that works for the most people. Whether currently involved in an organization or not, facilitation techniques will improve your ability to make clear choices for yourself and with others in a positive way.

Improve your group dynamic, effectiveness and creativity by taking the time to expand your skills as a facilitator! Meetings do not have to be boring, routine or stressful.

Learn hands-on interactive ways to address agenda items, increase participation and group interest. We'll walk through the consensus decision making model and discover how our personal values can be reflected in our decision making process.

This is a workshop not to be missed - you and the next group you facilitate will thank you!
