This is the right class for you if you want to be that weathered facilitator that sees a way forward, no matter what happens. You want to be the person who brings loving clarity to the group work while actively inviting all voices in. Your vision is that everyone feels safe, heard, held, and empowered in your meetings. This class is geared towards people who have already done our facilitation training (or a comparable experience level) and want to improve their facilitation dramatically. We expect you know how to run picture forming and proposal shaping, you know how to run a consent process, and you know how to do a selection process. Now it’s time to highlight and master all the stuff in between: when people object and it’s not easy to address their objection, or if it’s not clear what their objection is. When there are too many options on the table and everyone feels overwhelmed. When you’re under time pressure and you need to find common ground fast. Topics

Level |
As stated above, we expect that everyone who signs up has experience with rounds, consent, objections, basic structure (i.e. you know what a General Circle or a Helping Circle is), and has seen a selection process in action. Please take our assessment quiz if you’re unsure. This class is hard! If you don’t have enough experience, this class is going to be uncomfortable and overwhelming. Please attend at least 3 of the below modules (or something with equivalent content) before signing up for this class. |
