Facilitation Skills

Facilitation Skills:

2-3 Days training

Why do we need facilitation skills?

Do you come out of presentations feeling that it has not achieved anything?
Would you like all team meetings to be focused, where everyone s ideas are valued and used and where the session ends on time?
If the person in charge was able to handle conflict, cut through time wasting and enable the group to reach agreement, would this help?

Of course, it would.

If you answered yes to any of the above then facilitation skills training will help.

You just need to identify which group of employees would benefit
