The Skilled Facilitator Workshop
“Everyone wants to be a facilitator: consultants, managers, even teachers. What is desperately needed is a common, practical reference for understanding facilitation in diverse professional settings. No one has done a better job than Roger Schwarz of synthesizing the major theoretical underpinnings and translating them into clear, usable guidelines for practitioners.”
World-Class Intensive Facilitation Workshop
Personally led by Roger Schwarz, Author of "The Skilled Facilitator," an International Best-Seller.
Learn a Values-Based Approach to Helping Groups Get Results They Didn't Think Possible
If you join our Skilled Facilitator Intensive workshop, you will learn powerful, practical techniques that will help groups build genuine commitment, save time, handle challenging issues and maximize the quality of their decisions.
Have you ever watched a "trained" facilitator manipulate a group, or skirt a sensitive topic? Have you ever BEEN that facilitator? We focus on both technique and the mindset required to make facilitation techniques work under pressure. This will allow you to apply these techniques compassionately and assertively when it really counts.
