RedShift Facilitation Program

The Power of Conscious Listening

Facilitation is a cornerstone of communications leadership. The purpose is reaching shared group understanding and learning to uncover and clear blocks to productivity, participation and collaboration. Facilitation is more an art than science and pre-requisites are genuine interest in people, strong sense of self, and highly developed intuition.

A competent facilitator will have these requisite skills as well as strong knowledge and experience with group process. An excellent facilitator will have all of that and the natural ability to know when, and how, to shift the energy (or 'vibe') of the meeting.

As learning, training and collaboration increasingly moves online, the facilitator's role becomes more challenging because of the absence of face-to-face cues, the need to provide technical support, and the importance of understanding different learning styles.

THE PROGRAM

Small group meeting and workshop facilitation for conflict resolution, problem solving, decision making and brainstorming. A process that helps move groups from where they are (point A), to where they want to be (desired point B) and which includes:

• a quick grasp of contextual business change issues
• an objective yet supportive approach and process
• skill in working with challenging situations and disruptive individuals

EXAMPLES

You are driving critical change programs in your company but are getting resistance, emotional reaction and negativity.

Company meetings are stale and your staff are increasingly defensive, shut-down and risk-adverse.

Company-wide learning requires collaboration but people are resisting participating and clinging to old ways.
