Elevate Your Leadership with Facilitation Skills
In today’s fast-paced and collaborative work environments, the ability to effectively facilitate discussions, meetings, and workshops is more crucial than ever. Our 2-day Facilitation Skills course is designed to equip you with the essential tools and techniques to become a confident and effective facilitator.
Facilitation is more than just managing a meeting; it’s about guiding a group to achieve a common goal, ensuring every voice is heard, and fostering an environment where innovative solutions can emerge. Effective facilitation can transform group dynamics, boost productivity and inspiration, and drive successful outcomes in any setting—whether you’re in corporate meetings, community groups, educational workshops, or project teams.
Contextualising Facilitation: Learn the core principles of facilitation and why it’s vital in modern workplaces.
Planning and Preparation: Discover how to prepare for sessions, set clear objectives, and create engaging agendas.
Engagement Techniques: Master techniques to encourage participation, manage group dynamics, and handle challenging situations.
Tools and Methods: Explore a variety of facilitation tools and methods, from brainstorming techniques to decision-making frameworks.
Practical Application: Participate in hands-on exercises and real-world simulations to practice and refine your facilitation skills.
Feedback and Improvement: Receive personalised feedback and develop a plan for continuous improvement.
Interactive Learning: Our course is highly interactive, combining theoretical insights with practical exercises. You’ll engage in role-playing, group discussions, and real-time facilitation practice.
Certified Professional Facilitator (from the IAF) Guidance: Learn from experienced facilitators who bring a wealth of knowledge and real-world experience to the training.
Collaborative Environment: Connect with like-minded professionals, share experiences, and build a network of support.

Anyone looking to improve their facilitation skills
By the end of our 2-day course, you’ll be equipped with the confidence and competence to lead effective and engaging sessions. Empower your teams, enhance collaboration, and achieve better outcomes with strong facilitation skills.
A high-performing team buzzes with energy and productivity. With a shared purpose and clear roles, everyone knows what they’re doing and holds each other accountable. These teams get a ton of high-quality work done in an environment that’s open, supportive, flexible, and creative. Effective communication keeps the team responsive and quick on their feet.
If you have, you know. You just know. It isn’t a classic definition or a specific way of working in your mind but rather a feeling of contributing and collaborating and connecting in a way that feels hard to describe. This comes when both team leadership and team membership work seamlessly. And that takes time among other things. In this 3.5 hour session, Monique Kavelaars from the Olympian world of competitive sport, will share how seeing both the individuals and the group is at the centre of performance and how psychological safety remains the cornerstone of innovation and gearing up for speed.
