Overview

The success and quality outcomes achieved through group meetings, discussions and trainings are highly dependent on the skills the facilitator brings to the session. This Advanced Facilitation Skills training course is designed for anyone needing to develop stronger facilitation skills, such as guiding the group’s preparation, enabling agreements, defining roles, while presenting persuasively, as well as effectively managing the group’s engagement and input.

This 1-2 day program, presented by Glass Rock Solutions, will provide participants with practical skills that will enable them to ‘hit the ground running’ straight away to facilitate highly engaging, outcome-focused group sessions, using a combination of proven methodologies to ensure participants develop confidence and maximise their unique individual presenter strengths and personality.

    GLASS ROCK CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

    “Just wanted to thank you again for an interesting day yesterday.  I wasn’t looking forward to it as I assumed it would be the usual dry and dusty approach of legal jargon, documentation and dotting the i’s, and crossing the t’s.  Instead it was something different and more aligned with what vendor management can be (and covering areas Boral ICT are seriously challenged with at the moment).”
