Get more from your workshop - get an independent facilitator

You may decide to use your own people to run a workshop or training session in-house. However, it is a good idea to bring in an outside person to facilitate the session for you. Why? Well, there are many reasons.

Someone in your business will have to invest a great deal of time into developing material and organising the session. The biggest drawback is that they will be known to the participants.  That often makes it a challenge for people to contribute equally.   Managing the time can be an issue too.  Not so good if you are running time and priority management courses!

I have a great deal of experience as a workshop facilitator and I can help you get maximum benefit out of the session.

The benefits of an independent facilitator

The most important thing I bring is impartiality.  So whether it’s time and priority management courses, change management coaching, or a walk-through of a new process  - the topic doesn’t matter.  My role is to deal with the people aspects. I will:

• make sure everyone works as a team and contributes equally
• deal with any challenges that may arise
• record action points so everyone can stay focussed and contribute
• make a note of any issues
• keep the workshop within the scope originally agreed

All of which means you get a workshop that:

• achieves its aims
• covers all the points in the time allocated
• has fully engaged and focussed participants
• encourages a free-flowing exchange of ideas without constraints
