Are you frustrated by meetings or discussions that seem unfocused, unproductive or that end with no one really knowing why they were there or what they are supposed to be doing? If you are called upon to plan and/or lead a meeting, there are strategies you can use to transform your meetings into productive sessions that get active engagement, actual results and group buy in. During this facilitation training, you will be introduced to procedures and formats that enable a group to gather its cumulative insights, to order them, and then to decide on a course of action that has consensus and commitment backing it.
