About The Course

In this course, participants will gain essential skills to transform meetings from potential time-wasters into productive and successful forums. Understanding that meetings can either be opportunities for meaningful discussions and idea sharing or unproductive interruptions, the course focuses on effective facilitation techniques. Facilitation, as opposed to simply running a meeting, involves embracing openness to various outcomes and approaches, relinquishing power for a collaborative environment. Participants will learn the fundamentals of facilitation, including defining the facilitator's roles, choosing appropriate facilitation approaches, and planning for productive meetings. The course emphasizes collecting relevant data, encouraging active participation, and addressing disruptions effectively. Additionally, participants will gain insights into handling various challenging personalities and guiding groups toward resolving issues independently. By the end of the course, attendees will be equipped with the skills to facilitate meetings skillfully, ensuring productive discussions, active engagement, and successful outcomes.
