Why is this course exciting for you?

Today, we are collaborating more than ever. But the way we meet and collaborate today feels exhausting, time consuming and unproductive. And this comes at a cost of wellbeing, productivity and creativity. That said, people are in high demand who can shape and impact how teams work for the better.

From co-creation to group learning, you'll know how to design sessions for your groups needs, deal with tricky situations, and leave people inspired. Both online and in-person.

Week 1: Onboarding Week
The Onboarding week is dedicated to start the course off on the right foot. We will meet in a kick-off event to welcome you to the course and connect you with other participants.

Week 2: Discover your inner Facilitator
What strength can you play when guiding a group? In Module 1 we'll discover that answer.

We'll learn the characteristics of good facilitation and explore the 8 archetypes that a facilitator can have.

Week 3: Set up your Facilitation System
Distributed work isn’t temporary. In fact, it’s just in its infancy.

In this module we’ll learn the framework and tools to design and run workshops that work every time. And we’re going to explore how digital whiteboards can help us to give everyone a voice.
‍
Live Workshop: Go from scratch to your workshop design. Leave with a prepared digital whiteboard and your key activities.

Week 4: Train your Facilitator Superpowers
Make your gatherings feel as smooth as butter.

Module 3 gives you the facilitation and hosting skills to deal with a group both online and offline. You'll learn a simple method to give great instructions, facilitating everyone's participation, synthesising contents and managing the energy of the group.

expand_more
Week 5: Capstone Week
In this week we will take a break from the course contents and every participant will run their own small workshop in their work environment. You will be the facilitator and run your capstone workshop with your colleagues at work. Along the course we will gradually build up to this workshop and prepare you to take the theory into practice.
expand_more
Week 6: Facilitate with Impact
Time to take your learnings to the working environment.
‍
In Module 4 you will hold your workshop and follow up with all stakeholders. In the video lessons we’ll cover how to facilitate sustainable impact and why discomfort is what we need in a world of easy conversations.

Live Workshop: In this workshop, you’ll reflect on your capstone project and differentiate between short-term and long-term impact in working with groups.

The next class starts February 21st and goes until March 24th, 2022. Do you want to learn more about the course structure and the learning objectives? Then book a call with René for 1:1 walkthrough.

expand_more
Is this course right for me?
There are no direct prerequisites for participation in the course. The course is designed to start from scratch and together we build an understanding of roles and an effective system for facilitation. The only important thing is that you need to keep track of the video lessons and attend the live workshops, as this is the core of the course.
expand_more
What distinguishes this course from other facilitation trainings?
Most trainings often take place in one or two consecutive days. This forces the participant to soak up all the theory like a sponge. Shortly afterwards, you are left to your own devices when it comes to the transmission work. This course is fundamentally different because it is part-time and aims to support the transference work through social circles, coaching, accountability and your own capstone project. You will not only build knowledge, but also self-confidence through first successes.
expand_more
How much time should I expect to spend?
You can expect to spend 2-4 hours per week. Unlike other courses, this course is part-time. Therefore, the course adapts to your agenda and not the other way around. The time commitment may increase if you want to put more work into the practice. We know from experience that the learning effect is greater when you try to apply the theory you have learned directly in your work environment.
expand_more
How is this course taught?
The video lessons are pre-recorded, tangible and in small chunks so that you can visit them on your own pace. We package the lessons in such a way that you can derive clear insights and actions. The live workshops always take place in a smaller group setting to promote direct exchange between participants and create an open, personal learning environment. This way, people learn from each other and can help each other with challenges. In the workshops we put a lot of emphasis on a practical reference and a "learn by doing" mentality.
