Public Course Schedule & Registration
The Art of Effective Facilitation
This focused 2-day workshop will equip participants with the necessary skills and knowledge to
facilitate effective, engaging and relevant learning events and meetings.
It is designed specifically for trainers and facilitators who
need to plan and execute effective learning events, but do not
design the curricula. This is a great course for organizations
who use existing curricula (preferably designed using Dialogue Education™) but often
have other trainers, who are not trained in Dialogue
Education™, facilitate the trainings and workshops.
Overall this was one of the best workshops I have attended. The content and materials provided were
excellent and I was immediately able to implement them into my current professional role. I would
recommend this workshop to all individuals who lead meetings, workshops and training sessions in
their personal and professional life.
