Advanced Facilitation Training

Arm yourself with the tools to get tangible results from really productive meetings:

A practical workshop for people who want to develop their facilitation skills

Designed for consultants, managers, facilitators and trainers with some experience in facilitation, who wish to further develop their range of facilitation techniques to support effective working in the most challenging of situations.

Your trainer, Nicola Hunnisett, draws on her own experience of more than eighteen years in sales and marketing with IBM and Microsoft combined with world renowned graphical facilitation methodology and products from The Grove Consultants. Paperplane trains facilitators 'in house' for Microsoft and Masterfoods.

The workshop will be delivered using a blend of discussion, group work, practice and feedback in an environment which is set up to be supportive and encourage mutual learning. The activities are designed to enhance participants' existing facilitation skills while developing skills in listening, recording ideas on large murals and using templates to focus discussions.
