Meeting Facilitation Techniques

 

Focus

As a very experienced meeting facilitator Craig has a great deal to offer those who want to learn meeting facilitation techniques.

Craig runs this seminar like a meeting: encouraging participation, demonstrating techniques, and bringing the group to their own conclusions!

Craig asks participants to identify their most challenging meeting facilitation situations and then actually demonstrates how to address them. In addition, Craig explains what he sees as the four essential functions of meeting facilitation.
