ISO: beginner facilitation training/online

 

Hi everyone,
I'm supporting a client with a staff member looking for a facilitation training.? This is an up and coming staff person who facilitates some meetings (teams, committees) but does not aspire to become a professional facilitator.? They will be facilitating some online meetings - though I'm looking for a training to recommend that is not only about facilitating online (need some of the basics about planning, purpose/agenda development).?

My organization has done a couple of basic programs (one that is 90 minutes and one that includes 2 90 minute sessions), but we don't have any public offerings on the horizon.? Non-profit staff member - looking for something affordable.

Any recommendations??
Thanks!
Sarah Clark
 

i would be happy to offer facilitation coaching for this staffer at $1/min (nonprofit and community) rates, esp because i am pretty much working only remote right now. pls feel free to pass along my email address to them if they are interested in scheduling a brief consultation to check fit!

I recommend Training For Change, they teach/model online facilitation, and bring a justice and equity lens to their work, which is incredibly valuable.?

https://www.trainingforchange.org/public-workshops/

They don't have any upcoming sessions scheduled unfortunately, but you can sign up for their email list. They also offer training in Spanish at times.?

Lots of great options here!

If you're looking for something focused more broadly on day-to-day business meetings and that your staffers can take on-demand, you might find one of the Meeting School courses useful.


We have a few more coming online in the next several months and invite those of you who offer training on a topic or specialty we don't yet have covered to consider contributing an on-demand course to the catalog. Happy to answer any questions.

Hello Sarah, what a question! Expect more answers!!i¡¯m going to recommend my own business, no shame!

Why us? Well there are other good choices here for sure.?

if you go to our website you can download our ¡®How to¡¯ guide for free. If you like the style, you have some choices. You can join our Remote Together Community, a network of 350 and growing, people who have an interest in working, meeting, facilitating, training, and event design and production, all online. We have free learning events, tool talks - next up is Video Facilitator and Group Maps, being led by the boss/lead designer of the two tools! Then Qiqochat in December with Lucas Cioffe, and Circl.es with Dan Hoffman next year.?

Also anybody can ¡®rent a mentor¡¯ at a fixed rate for as long or as short as you want , with Judy Rees ?
We work predominantly with INGO¡¯s and international education organisations. UNICEF use us to train their teams all over the world.

i also recommend checking out Meeting School and Lucid Meetings. Elise has put together some of the best online thinking about remote work and meetings you will find. We have one course up in her school, more to come, and I will give a good discount code to any NGO or charity person who asks me
At Rees McCann we are announcing a new open course that would work for your friend to run shortly, dates not selected, but soon ?

Sarah - As you know, I offer a 4 week group coaching program on effective online facilitation - it covers the basics of both facilitation and facilitation?online. I offered 3 cohorts between May and October. I am likely to offer it again at the beginning of the year and have a waitlist up for people to add their name to if they are interested in learning about the next scheduled?session.


Thanks. - Carol
