Workshop - Facilitation Skills
Meetings are a vital part of everyday life, but many can be a waste of time due to lack of focus, poor communication, and interpersonal conflicts. Good facilitation skills can overcome most of these impediments and provide a mechanism for productive exchanges of information. This workshop will use a combination of lectures and interactive exercises to provide the skill sets necessary to become better facilitators, derive better information, and help make smarter decisions.
