Facilitation Skills Lab Series (3 part series, beginning Sept. 28)
Event Details
Strengthen Your Facilitation Skills: Enhance Your Impact as an Association Professional
Designed with experienced professionals like you in mind, this series offers valuable insights into navigating group dynamics, designing effective discussions, and handling unforeseen situations. Through practical assignments and collaborative peer sharing, you'll have the opportunity to build your facilitation skills (such as probing, bridging, synthesizing, and reflecting listening), while gaining confidence in your role and building your value to the organization.
You will be matched with a cohort of your association peers from across the US for three highly interactive 90-minute sessions.
Over the course of the three-session series, participants will:
- Gain an understanding of how to map out a facilitation process that helps a group work through common needs, such as brainstorming, problem-solving, and consensus-building.
- Create follow-up assignments in between sessions that expose you to opportunities to practice your facilitation skills and techniques in real-life settings.
- Share your experiences with peers to develop a richer learning experience.
