Description:

Let’s be honest: most people hate meetings.
Many are time wasters, and others can be contentious and difficult. In many cases, decisions are often not made or documented, a certain few people monopolize the discussion, and often, only a few people may support the decisions.
An effectively facilitated session eliminates or minimizes these problems.
A "facilitated session" is a meeting whereby someone - typically not the meeting leader - is responsible for structuring and implementing the meeting and its activites.
For instance, this person would not be responsible for meeting content, but instead could be responsible for identifying goals and barriers, keeping the process moving, bringing in quiet members, intervening if a participant dominates, generate new ideas, getting group commitment, next steps, etc.
When groups have an effective facilitator, they avoid many of the pitfalls we have all experienced in meetings and working sessions.
A facilitated session can be more productive, less time consuming, and result in increased commitment by the group to the output of the session. It helps eliminate off-tangent discussions, wasted effort, conflicts that prevent progress and dominance by a few individuals – and keeps your team focused on what counts: achieving team goals.
Sounds like nirvana? It can be if you utilize just a few basic facilitation skills that this training session teaches!

| About Webcasts / Audio Conferences / Podcasts: |
Webcasts, audio conferences, and podcasts are presentations that you attend via the Internet, phone, or mobile device at a specified date and time for "live" versions, or at your convenience for "recorded" and "On-Demand" versions.
The live versions are interactive, meaning that participants can ask questions in real time, plus are a very cost-effective form a training because 1) you receive fast, convenient learning without any out-of-office time; 2) you can invite as many colleagues as you'd like to listen in on a single phone line; 3) you incur no travel expenses; and 4) you and your colleagues are back at work immediately after the session ends!
And though with recorded versions you do lose the ability to ask questions, you gain the ability to hear the presentation numerous times and to share it with others in your office.
Handout materials and the phone number for live presentations are made available to you prior to the event via email from the presenter and from the "MyAccount" link on the menu bar. Copies of the presentations are included with recorded versions. |
