Masterful facilitation is a ongoing dance of skill, presence, and inspiration. Outwardly your role is to help participants through the agenda in accordance with the purpose, principles and other articulated norms for working together. Inwardly, you are attending to what is actually emerging, willing to stand ‘in creative tension’ and change the design in a moment, to best serve the group.The Inspired Facilitator is a deep dive into the principles, theories, practices, and processes for understanding, designing, and facilitating complex group dynamics and multi-stakeholder situations.

Benefits: With learned and experienced colleagues, you will co-create a learning agenda to explore and share the heights and depths of facilitation engagements. Using different theoretical frameworks as useful constructs, together you will dialogue, analyze, experiment and practice how to transform (and as needed, rescue) design and facilitation situations, nurture the emergence of group creativity and wisdom, while yourself remaining centered, authentic and present.
Who Should Attend: This program is for advanced practitioners and leaders (internal/external consultants, change agents, trainers, team/project leaders, managers and executives) who are looking to hone their skills in addressing complex facilitation projects and challenging conversations. Prior facilitation experience is required and/or completion of The Confident Facilitator program. (Read testimonials on the right.)
