Facilitation for Organizational Change
Presented by: Lisa Bjerke, GreenerU; and Dallase Scott, Trust for Change

One of the most important, yet often underappreciated, skill sets of any profession is the ability to be a strong group meeting facilitator. Whether it is a small staff meeting or a campus-wide strategic planning effort, being a confident and effective facilitator is essential. It not only helps you accomplish your goals, but provides the necessary structure and process for broader organizational change. Learn tried and proven techniques in group facilitation. This session will cover topics such as behavior theory as it pertains to meetings, the role of a facilitator, types of meetings, basic facilitation tools and techniques, difficult conversations and personalities, adaptive facilitation, nonverbal communication, methods of building group consensus, and a holistic process approach to facilitation.
