Facilitation Skills<br />

The secret to a successful meeting is to “try honestly<br />
see things from the other person’s point <strong>of</strong> view.”<br />
Leaders bring people, ideas and productivity<br />
together through providing needs and expectations<br />
and creating a riskfree environment. Guidelines for<br />
facilitation effectiveness will be discussed in this<br />
interactive session. The essential elements that<br />
need to be incorporated before, during and after<br />
any session will be discussed to improve quality,<br />
outcome and follow-up. The ultimate goal is to build<br />
cooperation and trust.<br />
• Preparation skills<br />
• Identify necessary skills/objectives for a<br />
“productive” session<br />
• Learn strategies for running an effective dialogue<br />
• Dealing with assertive/aggressive/passive behaviors<br />
• Use communications cushions to “s<strong>of</strong>ten the<br />
blow” from difficult participants<br />
• Conduct a group question and answer session<br />
• Discuss the 10 tips for productivity<br />
• Discuss the 10 tips for presenting and responding<br />
to participants<br />
• “Prime the pump” in getting an audience to<br />
participate either in questions, participating<br />
or focusing<br />
• Tips on running an effective meeting or roundtable<br />
discussion<br />
• Learn a quick 4-step process for running a meeting<br />
• Determine some decision making criteria for<br />
ending a meeting on a proactive note<br />
• Discuss green-light vs. red-light thinking<br />
The complexity <strong>of</strong> facilitation skills is generally in<br />
the mind <strong>of</strong> the leader. Once those paradigms are<br />
broken and the leader has a plan, can incorporate<br />
their own personality, eliminate personal agendas<br />
and incorporate the ideas listed above, a meeting<br />
can virtually run itself with the leader simply moving<br />
the elements along at the right pace!
