Facilitation enables you to help groups of people work together effectively and productively. In this workshop, we will learn examples of facilitation skills, how to become an effective facilitator and how to use these skills in the workplace.
Facilitation Skills are the abilities you use to provide opportunities and resources to a group of people that enable them to make progress and succeed. Some examples include being prepared, setting guidelines, being flexible, active listening and managing time. Facilitation skills are an essential component of effective meetings because they supply teams with the expertise they need to hone in on the problem or topic at hand and achieve creative solutions and consensus.
These skills are less about being an outspoken leader and more about allowing everyone else to contribute. As a facilitator, you bring the team together and create a common goal that everyone can be a part of. You then move the conversation toward the common goal and provide whatever is needed for your team to successfully reach it. A facilitator’s main objective is to lead their team without getting directly involved by encouraging participation and creativity.
