Course Content
The course is based on The Essence of Facilitation - Being in Action in Groups (Dale Hunter, Anne Bailey & Bill Taylor). An electronic (pdf) version of the book will be provided to course participants. It is the next book- after the classic Art of Facilitation, which we are sure is well-worn in your resources kit.
The course will cover characteristics of effective groups (distinctions) or group flow factors that are present and can be recognised in high-performing groups, and the process of distinguishing or identifying these characteristics 'in-the moment'. When they are missing - the group can get stuck.
Distinctions include:
- purpose and culture
- safety and trust
- powerful listening and speaking
- intentionality
- power-with
- emotional competence
- intuition
- completion.
On completion participants receive a certificate confirming 40 hours of facilitation training has been undertaken. The course is limited to a maximum of twelve participants.
