The Facilitation School
Why should you (& your team) go?
When we think about facilitation, we know the right facilitator can make all the difference. You know this to be true if you remember the last bad facilitator you had. So, we have created content to help you deliver the best for your audience.
First, as your guides, we have scoured through Mike's Ph.D. research and are sharing the top 12 things participants need from facilitators and the results are fascinating! Erin has been teaching Program Design School for more than 10 years so she is a master at designing curriculum.
Join us if you want to practice your facilitative skills, increase your audience’s evaluations score on your work, learn how to flex your style to meet your audience, figure out how to make your work more interactive using the 70/30 rule, practice your pace and pitch, and learn where facilitators can often go wrong.
Finally, we will teach you how to read your audience when they make a face that stresses you out.
As we share, you never went to camp to watch videos about canoeing, horseback riding, and the ropes course.
Why would your participants come to your course to watch you read the PowerPoints when they could be trying something themselves?
Let us help you get better—fast.
It’s time to attend The Facilitation School if you:
Want to get better and improve your facilitation.
Struggle with confidence in front of a group.
Have a hard time getting folks to participate.
Overthink your guide and your PowerPoint but always talk too much.
Can’t manage your time – you have too much time left over to fill or you feel like you can’t fit everything in – either way your participants get cheated.
Struggle with silence in your programs.
Don’t know how to get to your main point or go on too many tangents.
Worry about your evaluation scores, but don’t change your style to meet your audience.
Don’t know how to make your work memorable or sticky.
