​Session 2: Advanced Facilitation
July 13th, 2023
September 21st, 2023

Some meetings – and some meeting participants – require extra care and finesse. Busy executives with limited time on their hands, distracted individuals whose minds are elsewhere, and people caught up in organizational politics that don’t align with the other meeting participants can make things really tough! Whether we’re trying to understand the technical details of a specific issue or we’re planning for the next several months or years for our organization, our meetings need to be productive and useful. The best compliment to a meeting facilitator is to be invited back, and that doesn’t happen unless the people in the meeting agree that the meeting was effective. Gain and practice proven techniques to protect the productivity of the meeting and keep things moving forward well, even in the face of apathy, distractedness, excessive chattiness, resistance, hostility, unreasonable dominance, and other unproductive behaviors. In this full-day workshop, we’ll weave stories of disruptive behavior into techniques of how to manage them with grace. Keeping in mind the essentials of any effective meeting and supplementing those critical foundations with advanced techniques to use when the meeting is at a standstill. This class will prepare you to facilitate even the highest-stakes meetings with any of highest profile participants.

At countless moments during the day, we have the opportunity to choose a coach approach with our coworkers or employees. Coaching in the moment allows us to reinforce praise-worthy behaviors, prevent future discord, or give others the opportunity to consider their actions or circumstances in a new way. Sometimes, we shy away from coaching conversations because we’re not sure how to start or feel we don’t have the authority. Let’s explore incorporating coaching as a mindset, recognizing there are various moments for pausing to take a coach approach. We’ll practice using multiple tools and models you can incorporate into your day-to-day right away!

Change appetites vary, and changes can be hard. But they don’t have to be. Equipped with a few simple concepts, we can help enable change in their organizations.

• Defining the terms makes it change simpler.
• A growth mindset helps with any change.
• A people-positive attitude helps with any stakeholder.
• Envisioning change as a journey helps set the stage for the messages we need when going through transition, and helps others hear what they need to hear, right when they need it most.

This engaging look at the processes many people go through around change and the messages that help them move forward will help you look at change a little differently, with the end goal of improving your own ability to help others through the transition process – regardless of the magnitude of the change or the change appetite of those facing it.
