ASTDps Chapter Meeting - March 2013 -The Pace of Facilitation: Balancing Action with Process

Whether you are working inside an organization or as an external consultant, facilitation skills are crucial to your success.  Most experienced facilitators know firsthand the importance of striking a balance between moving toward outcomes and staying present to group dynamics as they unfold.  Yet too often it’s easy to tip the scales one way or the other either getting stuck in process or moving too quickly and stepping over important information. In this highly interactive session, participants will build awareness of their own facilitation strengths through experiential exercises, conversation and small group practice.
