Facilitators are the "keeper of the process" in organizational or community meetings, training or workshops. Many times leaders find themselves with subject matter expertise but have limited experience planning for and facilitating successfully. Facilitation skills are learned and mastery will help you be more comfortable and successful when called upon to facilitate.

In this hands-on workshop you will experience active process skills and leave knowing how and when to use them for success. A comprehensive overview of adult learning principles will be included and you will learn how to incorporate these principles for enhanced engagement of participants.
