Facilitation
There are many instances in business and corporate life where it is necessary to instigate a two way dialogue between a small or large group of employees and/ or customers or clients. Hence the facilitator!
It may be a business seminar, annual general meeting or a planning meeting, whatever the occasion the ability to get meaningful communications going is often difficult.
Staff often feel intimidated speaking their mind at such occasions. Clients are often hesitant to give feedback directly to the company. People often try to monopolize the floor or stray off track.
Enter the facilitator!
A professional facilitator can draw out meaningful information, control disruptive participants and ensure that the group focuses on the topic.
Their unbiased stature encourages debate, stimulates audience participation and can often provide a valuable insight into the groups’ motivations.
Planning a function that requires a facilitator?
Facilitation is an interactive skill which can transform business meetings, information presentations, strategic planning sessions, etc. Almost any group activity which requires a two way communication between the audience and the organizer will benefit from utilizing a trained facilitator.
