Workshop Facilitation

With more than 35,000 hours to my credit, I play a simple and straight-forward role as a facilitator: to make meetings most productive.  My style is described as objective and neutral, but at the same time, thought-provoking and challenging.  And if I can say so myself, I am also energetic, organized, driven and fun.

Every facilitator faces how to engage participants – and keep them engaged. I use many techniques, including LEGO® Serious Play™, which allows people to think with their fingers by building their thoughts and problems with a carefully chosen selection of LEGO® bricks.  As a result, people express their ideas in greater detail.  Problems are more easily understood and remembered.  Everyone participates.

Another problem stems from internal dynamics among team members. Negotiation Skills, Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument® and GENOS® Emotional Intelligence help groups understand, address and move past issues which prevent decision making.

To help people understand individual and group dynamics, Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® and Team Management Systems® are superior resources.  I use them to show how participants contribute in different ways, help determine roles and responsibilities, or create team-building activities.

I think it speaks for itself that I can manage many different agency clients.  Above all, I am 100% confidential and free of politics.  I also play well with others because I am independent and objective.

Here’s some examples of recent workshop facilitation:
