Industry Training | Facilitation Skills Training in Preston FAQs

This training teaches individuals how to effectively guide and manage group discussions and activities, ensuring that objectives are met while promoting collaboration and participation among all group members. It covers skills such as conflict resolution, effective communication, and methods for encouraging engagement and productivity in a group setting.
Facilitation Skills are important for promoting effective communication, collaboration, and goal achievement within groups. They help guide discussions, manage conflicts, and encourage active participation, fostering a positive and productive environment.
To enhance your Facilitation Skills, practice active listening, use clear and concise language, maintain a positive and inclusive environment, and encourage open communication.
The four basic Facilitation Skills are communication, active listening, adaptability, and problem-solving.
There are two types of Facilitation, which include Process Facilitation, which manages group dynamics, and Content Facilitation, which focuses on the subject matter. Both aim to improve collaboration and learning in group settings.
Facilitation differs from leading or managing a group in that it focuses on enabling group processes and encouraging participation rather than directing or controlling outcomes. A Facilitator helps members collaborate and reach a consensus by guiding discussions and managing dynamics, whereas leaders or managers often set agendas, make decisions, and establish objectives for the group.
Facilitation techniques include brainstorming to generate ideas, icebreakers to warm up delegates, round robin for inclusive discussions, and affinity diagrams to organise thoughts and themes. Depending on the specific goals and dynamics of the session, these methods should enhance engagement, encourage collaboration, and structure problem-solving in group settings.
There are no formal prerequisites to attend this course.
