Whether in one-on-one, group or organizational settings, you’ll facilitate, consult and train in the following ways if you implement your learning from our Skilled Facilitator workshop:

You’ll be more Transparent
When you implement your learning, you’ll share your reasoning and intent underlying your statements, questions and actions, and your actions will match what you say much more closely than they did before. You’ll invite others to do the same. This reduces the need for people to make assumptions about what you say and do, which increases trust. It also helps groups make more informed decisions about how to move forward.

You’ll be more Curious
When you implement your learning, you’ll be more genuinely curious about how others are thinking about issues, especially when others seem to have different or irrational points of view on these issues. You’ll seek to understand others points of view to their satisfaction. You’ll invite others to be more curious as well. This creates learning and trust, and reduces defensiveness, particularly in difficult circumstances.

You’ll have more Compassion
When you implement your learning, you’ll develop a greater concern for the good of others and yourself. You’ll blame and judge less, and seek to appreciate and help more. You’ll invite others to do the same. This allows you to involve and energize others in seeking solutions to existing challenges, which improves their group or organization’s performance.

You’ll be more Accountable
When you implement your learning, you’ll hold yourself and others accountable for their actions. You’ll make commitments to improve your effectiveness, and actively seek feedback as to your progress. You’ll invite others to do the same. You’ll also hold yourself accountable for your thoughts; if they are relevant, you’ll work to share them, even if it’s difficult to do so. This makes it much more likely that you’ll improve your capacity to serve your clients over time.

You’ll be more Committed
When you implement your learning, you’ll be more internally committed to your actions, and seek solutions that leave others feeling the same way. You’ll actively explore your and others’ reservations and concerns on any given issue, and work to avoid manipulation and coercion. This helps you and others achieve lasting results that wouldn’t be possible without the support and creativity of all involved.
