How we turn up for work has changed forever, yet in many organisations, people’s methods of running meetings or workshops haven’t changed to meet the challenge.
In a world where we’re increasingly navigating a mix of in-person, remote or hybrid working, it can feel like we’re spending even longer in meetings, yet we’re achieving worse outcomes in return for our time.
Today it is in everyone’s interest that when we take people’s time to meet, our purpose is clear, creativity thrives, and things get done. We need strong, world-class facilitation skills more than ever.
As part of Beliminal’s exclusive skill-based training for leaders, managers, and coaches, this facilitation course unfolds over four interactive modules.
