Course ID
FACILIT
Summary
Facilitators, whose job is to help manage the flow and process of information exchange, are more concerned with smoothing the way of the journey than its destination.

This programme will give you the skills and techniques to be able to facilitate teams and groups in a business environment. You will learn just how valuable the art of facilitation is and how it differs from, and links to mentoring, coaching and managing teams and individuals. Importantly, you will also learn when adopting a facilitative approach is appropriate and when it is better to stand back from a situation and allow others to reach the goal alone.
