Facilitation
Whether you’re an internal staff facilitator primarily called on to facilitate one-on-one meetings, team meetings, staff meetings, committee meetings, or board meetings, or you’re an external consultant facilitator who primarily facilitates project/initiative meetings or full-scale strategic planning sessions, we think that filling your facilitation toolbox with various skills, techniques, and foundational methods is just as important as having the confidence to experiment with them. Ultimately, the goal is the same: to identify and learn from both your successes and challenges.
Mission
The mission of FACILIT8me (pronounced FACILITATE ME) is to create a relaxed and supportive community of practice ideal for learning and networking with fellow facilitators. Through our signature Association Facilitator Certificate Course, monthly Voices & Views video series, and a vibrant online community, not to mention all of the special meet-ups, lunch and learns, and happy hours we’ve deployed over the years, participants of all experience levels will feel empowered to put their newfound knowledge and insights to work in their own facilitations.
Training
Exploring the very same techniques our facilitators use with clients, grow your facilitation knowledge, skills, and abilities through two days of hands-on practice of the three proven methods introduced during the Technology of Participation (ToP) Facilitation Methods course: Focused Conversation Method, Consensus Workshop Method, and Action Planning Process.
