Overview

Gain insight and a repeatable practice for effective facilitation – whether you’re facilitating workshops, offsites, or meetings.

Demystifying Facilitation

Great facilitation can look effortless — almost like magic. But what participants experience in the room is just the tip of the iceberg. Behind effective meetings and workshops is thoughtful structure, clear intention, and skilled presence.

In this workshop, participants will learn what goes into effective facilitation, focusing on two foundational elements:

  1. How to design and structure meetings and workshops for purpose and outcomes, and

  2. How the facilitator shows up — through presence, neutrality, and responsiveness

We’ll explore how to navigate power dynamics, especially in groups with mixed reporting levels, and how to respond to disruptive or dysfunctional behaviors in real time. Whether participants facilitate formal workshops or simply want meetings to work better, this session makes facilitation more accessible, intentional, and effective.
