Foundation Course in Group Facilitation – 3 days

Who Should Attend?
Intersol’s Foundation Course in Group Facilitation is a three-day course ideal for anyone who wants to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of meetings they lead or participate in.

Overview
These days, more and more of us are spending more and more of our time in meetings – sharing ideas, solving problems, making decisions and planning for action. But if you ask people about those meetings – how effective and efficient they are – the answers are often disappointing. Ask them for the chief causes of poor meetings, and they’ll probably complain about the time wasted:

  • when meetings don’t start on time
  • bringing latecomers up-to-date
  • when the purpose of the meeting isn’t clear
  • when there’s no agenda
  • when people come with their own “hidden” agendas
  • when people come unprepared
  • when critical people don’t show up or cancel at the last minute
  • when one or two individuals dominate the discussions
  • when meetings go off track with discussion of unplanned topics
  • when closed mindedness causes disruptive conflict
  • when the Storytellers, the Nay-sayers and the Whiners take over
  • when individuals build roadblocks in an effort to get their own way
  • when meetings don’t end on time
