Join Professionals Across the World Learning to Facilitate Better Collaboration

Time spent in meetings has been rising for years.

Over the past decade, the average professional’s time in meetings has climbed steadily—interrupting our days and pulling us away from top priorities. Yet despite all that time together, 70 percent of meetings actually delay essential work , and 92 percent of employees say meetings keep them from their regular duties.

And let’s face it—no one enjoys an unproductive meeting.

That's why more and more professionals in global organizations are learning facilitation skills: to lead discussions, create clarity and navigate decision making. Whether that's in a workshop, a staff retreat or a leadership meeting. When the stakes are high, we need clear direction and deep focus.

You bring stakeholders together, enable teams to make good decisions or run workshops with your team. You want to learn facilitation from the ground up and develop facilitation competence.

Facilitation Training for Busy Professionals

The Facilitator Masterclass is our flagship training. Twice a year we run a 6-week cohort-based facilitation training with 24 participants. It transforms your previous work experience into your personal toolkit that is on your side for any future session.

The Masterclass has been mentioned as top course multiple times, we run it 2-3 times per year. Below you can see the availability and upcoming cohorts to get notified when the next one opens.

Special Element: Onboarding Sprint

Before joining a Masterclass cohort, the first step is the Onboarding Sprint. We will analyze your previous experiences, recurring challenges and define your personal key leverage. This is the core activity that will give you the most learning progress.

You will meet your fellow peers, professionals from different organizations joining you. Together we will go through a one-week in-depth assessment with different formats to explore your work environment.

• Facilitation Challenges (Workshop)
• Analyzing Past Experiences (Exercise)
• Key Focus Areas (Workshop)

After the Sprint the last step is a 1:1 Coaching Call to synthesize learnings and to help you pick a project for application. While you're waiting for the cohort, you can join our member calls.
