Leaders Essential Facilitation Skills Workshop

This workshop is designed to give trustees or community leaders (such as committee members) a practical understanding of facilitation. It will equip them with the skills and competencies necessary to effectively facilitate groups and meetings to greater effect.

  • communicate for impact
  • keep people interested and motivated
  • reach decisions
  • manage energy levels
  • respond to challenges
