Session Description: This popular and well-received workshop will familiarize participants with the management of the group facilitation process and a variety of group facilitation techniques. Participants will learn best practices for navigating group dynamics and capitalizing on challenging attendees. We will discuss facilitator’s different roles and responsibilities in group facilitation and how these roles intersect with the tasks inherent in planning and managing a group facilitation experience. Participants will also learn how to choose a facilitation technique based on goals and objectives, anticipated outcome, type and number of participants, and logistics. Two to three facilitation techniques for generating ideas, focusing thoughts, and drawing conclusions and next steps will be explored in greater detail. We will also cover variations on these techniques and how they may be used for your facilitation purposes. Job aides and reference lists will be provided.
