Facilitation Training with a major new ingredient

In February and March, Liz, Tony and Pam delivered Conflict Management and Facilitation Training for Nature Scot.

We bid for and won the work in January and pulled in support on Non Violent Communication and Convergent Facilitation to tailor our long-proven facilitation training offering to meet the need. After the first training was delivered to a group in Great Glen House in Inverness, we spent time with the coordinators to refine the offering based on feedback received. The second training at Battleby in Perth saw us move the training to a place where we supported the participants to design and deliver their own practice sessions to further focus their learning experience.

Some feedback from participants:

“The final discussions we had really brought it all together for me and made me feel like I did, in actual fact, now have skills and a kind of toolkit for facilitation & managing challenging behaviour.”

“I enjoyed the concept of sitting in a circle when working with smaller groups - it's something I would have never thought of doing but it immediately makes participants more at ease when we're all sitting together rather than a "classroom" style approach with the facilitator standing at the front talking down to others.”

“The idea of generating a list of group rules or a group agreement is something I will use in future meetings as it provides a reference point to draw people's attention to should the meeting start to go astray.”
