P203 (Sept .1): Joining the bits and pieces: A holistic framework for facilitation
Presenter: Rhonda Tranks, CPF
IAF Core Competencies: A, B, C, D, E, F
Number of participants: 8-30

How have you learned facilitation? For many it’s been in bits and pieces: courses, workshops; PD sessions; reading; discussions with colleagues; on-line research etc. Facilitation is complex and dynamic. How do these bit and pieces relate and work as a system?

Your professional background e.g. IT, L&D may have provided you with a specific approach. Perhaps that approach needs be integrated into a broader framework to work more effectively with different groups and contexts.
This workshop provides an opportunity to examine different elements of facilitation and integrate these elements into a dynamics, holistic framework. We’ll explore how parts systemically relate to the whole and what this means for you as a facilitator, your clients and for achieving productive outcomes. The framework can be applied to planning and conducting facilitated events. It’s equally relevant for process and training facilitation. Workshop participants will receive: a work booklet, worksheets and a comprehensive bibliography for further reading and research.
