Mastering the Art of Facilitation - A Gestalt Approach

ONLINE COURSE - Unlock the potential of any group by mastering the art of facilitation

Much of the art of facilitation is concerned with how you manage yourself from moment-to-moment: your awareness, your assumptions, your decisions, your attitudes and ultimately, your interventions. It becomes a matter of how you use the best tool you have at your disposal: yourself.

During this two-day programme, you will be introduced to a variety of new skills, tools and further aspects of Gestalt Theory. These valuable resources will empower you to make moment-to-moment decisions which enable you to use yourself and your presence, even in the most challenging of situations. By artfully managing yourself, you will be able to show up in ways which best supports your 'client' to achieve the stated goals and objectives.

Details

During this 2-day programme, our highly experienced IAF Certified Facilitators will lead you through the following:

Facilitating quality ‘contact’
Understanding resistances to quality ‘contact’
Facilitating a Unit of Work
