THE ART OF MEETING FACILITATION WORKSHOP
Thursday 15 September 2016

15 September 2016, 9h-17h

La Ferme du Manoir, Chateau de Nyon

The Art of Meeting Facilitation is an essential skill for any leader, manager consultant, trainer and anyone who wants to successfully run productive meetings.

A great facilitator is the catalyst for great meetings from small to large groups. A facilitator is like an orchestra conductor – holding the group with authority, creating a trusting and engaging climate, while keeping the energy and interest high and managing difficult people or power issues, thus allowing the participants to be fully engaged and productive.

Successful organisations and companies train their staff on facilitation skills so they can be available to facilitate third party meetings, allowing their colleagues to focus on their productive engagement within the meeting, as a participant. Leaders, managers and trainers can also use these skills for their own meetings to create highly efficient meetings.

JoAnne Freeman, Swimupstream and Diana Ritchie, SCC Sàrl have teamed up to offer you a one-day course on The Art of Meeting Facilitation.

Join us for this one of a kind, fast-paced and engaging training, which will give people immediate applicable skills and tools to run great meetings for themselves and for others.

Kind regards,
JoAnne and Diana
