Program Overview: When participants leave one of your training or brain-storming sessions, do you want them to say “B-O-R-I-N-G. That was a nice day out of the office and a free lunch” or “Wow…the day just flew by! That was an amazing experience!” We specialize in creating the latter.
It takes a lot of effort to pull off a meeting where the group is highly engaged and leaves fired up to make positive change happen. In our workshop, participants will learn from a certified “Master” facilitator who has trained many facilitators at multiple multi-billion dollar organizations on the basics of what it takes to create a fun, impactful, and engaging learning experience.
This 1 ½ day program is limited to a maximum 10 participants. On Day 1, participants will learn critical things that facilitators need to do to from initial preparation of an impactful presentation to closing strong. At the conclusion of Day 1, participants are given a homework assignment to apply what they have learned. Each individual will have 15 minutes the next morning to facilitate a presentation that will be constructively coached by our Master facilitator. Additionally, honest feedback will be given from other participants in a closely guided positive environment.
