Group learning to achieve their best thinking

We are delighted to bring you the highly successful Group Facilitation Skills Public Program. Empower people to engage in collaboration and decision making, and they will buy into the solution.

With the increased use of technology and people working in more flexible ways, fostering collaboration and connection has never been more important. The ability to think and work together productively is vital. The skills required to help people do their best thinking and more effectively collaborate are underpinned by the ability to encourage participation and build mutual understanding in a group. This course will teach you how to work with groups to effectively:

Draw out and consolidate ideas
Involve people in the decision-making process
Manage a group’s dynamics and energy to enable its best thinking
Work with diverse stakeholder groups
Empower individuals and teams
Strengthen team relationships

As citizens of the world, learning to work together is one of the most crucial challenges facing all of us.

Hear about the course:

“I really appreciated the program and have come away inspired by Paul to dig deeper into the world of facilitation both as a leader, and as a supporter of others in the Australian Sport Sector. We will benefit greatly from applying the knowledge and practices exposed during the course”

Brad McGee, OLY OAM - High Performance Coach Adviser,

NSW Institute of Sport

“The Introduction to Participatory Facilitation program was the best live training I’ve ever attended. The skills I developed over those three days have stayed with me and benefited my professional and personal life in often unexpected ways. Over the three days of the program we covered the entire facilitation process from start to finish in an intelligent, measured way that was challenging and fun. From set-up, to techniques like stacking and tracking, dealing with difficult dynamics, maintain focus and momentum, and reaching consensus and closure, the program developed in depth and complexity as we progressed. All participants were involved in running mini facilitation sessions across the three days, and were given the information, tools and support to develop our skills. The course enabled me to go back to my work project with confidence, and deliver an outcome that exceeded expectations.”
