Group Facilitation

1) Understanding your Needs

All great accomplishments start with a given set of circumstances, an idea, and a small group of people willing to explore it

• Understanding your context (what's going on?)
  
• Discussing your goals, objectives, and desired meeting outcomes (e.g. list of ideas, decision, agreement, action plan, etc.)
  
• Identifying who will participate in the meeting
  

2) Understanding your Group

Over time, every group develops an identity, based on a shared history as well as a common set of behavioral norms and expectations

• Understanding your group's history together
  
• What are the interpersonal dynamics within your group?
  
• What decisions are the participants empowered to make at this meeting?
  
• What explicit behavioral norms would be useful for this meeting?

3) Designing the Meeting / Workshop

Stories are at the essence of human communication
Every great musical piece, film, or play ever produced had a script with different acts that combined to tell the story

• Designing the meeting agenda and its phases
  
• Validation and approval of the design
  

4) Preparations

Proper Preparation Prevents Poor Performance

• Preparing the workshop materials and documents
  
• Addressing all those little details that make for great experiences
  

5) Workshop

This is where the magic happens
Where you and your group explore the ideas that matter to you
Where you commonly define the next steps in your success story

According to your needs, I will support your group to:

• Navigate your situation
  
• Bring clarity to assumptions
  
• Understand challenges and barriers
  
• Envision the future
  
• Define options
  
• Make decisions
  
• Create action plans
  
• Safely discuss differences in perspective
  
• And much much more
  

6) Follow Up

We all perceive events through different lenses. Feedback creates our stained glass window
