Session Overview

Macquarie Dictionary sums up ‘facilitation’ nicely: ‘To make something easier or less difficult’. An effective facilitator does exactly that, makes the learning process easier by using a range of purposeful techniques to drive learning outcomes.

This webinar explores ways to raise the bar with your facilitation skills, with a focus on influencing learner engagement, retention and behaviour during training.

Together, we’ll explore:

• What it means to facilitate and why all trainers should adopt facilitation skills.
• Key processes and factors that influence effective facilitation.
• Processes for facilitating ‘learning through experience’ and pitfalls to avoid.
• Both proactive and reactive ways of managing unproductive behaviours.
• Simple techniques for maintaining composure during difficult situations.

During the webinar, Tony will share his ‘single most important learning theory/model all facilitators need to know’ and explain how it can be applied to any learning environment.   

Get ready for a session that gives you key principles for effective facilitation as well as addressing some of the little things like:

• Why you shouldn’t speak for more than 10 minutes
• Why groups of three are better than groups of four.
• Why ‘learning from experience’ can be problematic.
• Why your mindset is critical to managing difficult situations
• Why encouraging ‘mind wandering’ is not a bad idea.

Key Topics Covered

By the end of this session, it is expected that you will be able to:

• Explain facilitation and the key practices of a facilitator.
• Define factors that impact effective facilitation practice
• Use experiential learning processes to enhance facilitation and learner outcomes.
• Use proactive and reactive techniques to manage unproductive behaviours.
