Foundations of Facilitation
Achieving Better Outcomes for Rural Australia
Effective facilitation is needed to support better outcomes across rural and regional Australia. Human centred facilitation puts people front and centre. It supports growth and change, overcomes barriers and fosters innovation. Strong facilitation skills are needed in our organisations, communities, and industries. Many of the approaches previously used with groups aren’t working; they are process driven and don’t result in behavioural or practise change. A solid understanding of human centred facilitation, the facilitator mindset and our 5 step human centred approach is key to unlocking individual and group potential. As a result of this workshop you will facilitate confidently, achieve new outcomes and see behavioural and practise changes of value in the people you lead. We build customised and participatory programs where we work with you to develop and practise facilitation knowledge, models and new skills suitable for your context.
Clients we’ve recently facilitated with include; Cotton Australia, Grain Growers Limited, Red Earth Community Foundation, Canegrowers, Southern NSW Innovation Hub, Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal, University of Southern Queensland and Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority.
In this 1 day + extras interactive workshop, I will take you through;
At the end of this workshop, you will know and be able to apply the 5-step facilitation framework, and you will have acquired a suite of facilitation tools and techniques that you can draw upon anywhere anytime.
Facilitation is the act of leading a process and engaging participants so they create, discover and apply learnings, and is one of the most valuable skills available to our industry, community and organisational leaders, and all individuals seeking to support growth and change.
“This program provided me with great tools, and examples of how to use them and the opportunity to practice them. I love that we got to work on our own facilitation plan over the day so I am leaving with a real plan ready to go. The group was a great size and were super engaged. I also really like that I am leaving today with a new network of fellow facilitators!” – Henry (Toowoomba, Qld)
“I had a wonderful day. All 15 of us learnt so much and even if you are a facilitator already, it is so valuable, they have so many awesome tips and skills that they shared with us. When they are in your area try to get there – it will be worth your time!” – Libby (Toowoomba, Qld)
This workshop is for those working across rural and regional Australia who want to fast track their facilitation skills to deliver innovative group processes to drive practise and behavioural change.
