?? When a transformational book leads to a blossoming practice – that we can support...
?? The book ‘the Facilitator’s guide to participatory decision-making’ (Sam Kaner et al.) has profoundly transformed my way of looking at collaboration, facilitation and team work.
?
??? The theory is clear, with sharp language, grounded in the reality as we actually experience it, not in a wishful idealistic thinking kind of way.
???? The practice that the book is embedded in is unbelievably rich, reflecting the 40+ years of experience of Community At Work in guiding groups to give their best thinking and achieve sustainable outcomes whether in an organisation or in multi-stakeholder collaboratives.
?
?? For these reasons, I consider the the Facilitator’s guide to participatory decision-making a bible of collaboration, facilitation and teamwork.
?
???? I have been privileged to follow Community At Work’s 'Group Facilitation Skills' training as a participant, and have been even more privileged to be instructed by some of the book authors, including its lead Sam Kaner and partner Nelli Noakes, to dispense this training.
?
???? With an incredible joy, pride, and some humility, I am delighted to announce that I will be hosting this ‘Group Facilitation Skills’ training again, this time in the Netherlands, in May of this year.
?
???? Whether you are a team leader, manager, facilitator/trainer/consultant, this foundational training course may rewire your brains on everything collaboration and facilitation the way it did to me some nearly 10 years ago.
?? Whether you’re struggling to understand how group dynamics work, you are keen on unleashing everyone’s brilliance in collaborative efforts, you want to do a better job at making clear decisions with results that stick, or you want to beef up your in-the-room facilitation or process design capacities, this training course has something solid to offer.
