Facilitation Skills Development

Summary: Facilitation Skills Development assists emerging leaders to develop tools with which to conduct peer or client meetings and other facilitated sessions more smoothly, effectively and successfully. It is designed to help improve the willingness and ability of the leader/facilitator to connect with—and get the best from—their audience. Self-awareness is key: We can’t change what don’t know we don’t know. It addresses the skills and strategies needed to establish rapport, build mutual trust, and draw out meaningful, productive interaction. 
 
Facilitation Skills digs deep to help participants explore and eventually break through the barriers that may be preventing them from feeling comfortable and confident communicating in front of people. Through discussion, role-playing and practice, the class leads them to refine their own communication style. Most importantly, the class teaches them how to highlight their strengths while mitigating their weaknesses. They learn to view themselves and their interactions differently, and new ways of viewing produce new ways of doing. 

The focused, three-day EQ for Leaders© program bridges the gap between theory and action shifting the common, external “how-to” perspective of leadership to that of character, internal motivation, and a sustained long-term approach to nurturing talents and skills.
