Facilitation Training for Results: New workshops will build skills – and fast-track progress

Are you trying to drive change in your workplace — yet find your teams faltering?

Do important meetings often fall short of your goals?

Is stronger collaboration needed across your organization?

To help individuals and organizations strengthen team problem-solving skills, The Wunderlin Company is offering a series of small, intensive, experience-based workshops over the next year.

The next one — Facilitating for Results — is a three-day training session June 24-26. To reserve a spot, register now.

The workshop goal: to help individuals and organizations seeking to change their culture with the help of skilled facilitation tools and strategies. They will learn to:

• Assist in structuring and planning team problem-solving meetings.
• Effectively facilitate day-to-day meetings.
• Become an internal leader of cultural-change initiatives.
• Take a facilitative approach to their own work.

What people say about our workshops

With 20 years of experience leading facilitation training, the Wunderlin team has helped leaders in a wide range of settings — from small nonprofits to large international corporations to government agencies.

Participants praise the intimate class size (9 to 1 student/faculty ratio) and lively interactive learning with hands-on experience leading a group through varied problem-solving approaches.

Some comments:

• “I have always felt the need to speak when there is silence. I have learned to give people time to process and I have slowed down.”
• “I tend to ask more questions – and follow-up questions – to get someone’s whole thought process. I used to think my role as a manager and as a teacher was to teach, and I have learned much more by asking questions and starting conversations instead of telling what I thought I already knew as a fact.”

Also on the Wunderlin Company training schedule are these workshops:

• Two more Facilitation for Results training: September 30-Oct 2 and January 12-14, 2016
• Advanced Models for Facilitation, July 8-10
• Coaching as a Leadership Skill, May 20-22 and October 21-23
