The transformative approach is responsive to both the empowerment of individuals and the desire to have connection with others and support common goals in order to achieve outstanding results. This is a must for anyone who works with people! Expect a lively, interactive, and hands-on experience with one of the best workshop leaders and trainers in the industry.
- 2 days on Relational Facilitation: The Purpose and Practice of Leading Groups ResponsivelyJudith Saul & Scott Sears, New York;
Description: Working effectively as a facilitator of group deliberations requires a firm grasp of group dynamics and an understanding of the contexts in which groups are interacting. Working from a transformative perspective offers new ideas to the group leader to integrate this knowledge with interactive and process skills that are responsive to the group's (and the facilitator's) sense of purpose. This training will provide a new framework specifically developed for relational group facilitation. Scenarios will be generated by participants with opportunities for interaction and hands-on exercises. A great workshop for anyone who works in and with all kinds of groups, political parties, environmental and civic groups, and others.
