Training
Our professional development workshops encourage participants from all kinds of organizations, non and for-profits, foundations, city councils, to share knowledge, ask questions, and practice facilitation and problem-solving. We model diverse facilitation styles and strategies to help organizations and people reconnect with their values and strengthen their processes and community outcomes.
Training and Development services include:
-
The future is coming, and it will require excellent facilitation skills to create something beautiful.
We offer a 4-part professional development series for folks with an active facilitation practice.
Participants learn creative facilitation skills, try-on new facilitation tools in a “no-stakes” environment, and receive feedback on their facilitation.
-
Build creative facilitation skills to create more dynamic, engaging, and transformative meetings. Explore your facilitation superpowers, and learn how to co-develop creative agendas, clarify a meeting’s purpose and outcomes, and ensure equity and accessibility.
-
Strengthen your team’s ‘imagination muscles’ and discover new solutions within a safe, “no-stakes” environment. Great for mapping out policy pathways and exploring technical topics.
-
What happens when we recall that statistics can represent people and that data can become poetry? Find ways to powerfully convey your data to your audience.
-
What’s possible at the intersection of health and housing? Working across multiple sectors can create pathways for collaborations to meet human/community needs, now and into the future.
