When group programs are facilitated well participants are able to learn faster and connect more meaningfully with new knowledge and other people.  

Online courses

Facilitating online workshops

In March 2020, the sudden COVID-19 restrictions resulted in many facilitators rapidly restructuring, upskilling and realigning their facilitation approaches to enable them to be offered via a variety of online platforms. Through the process of adapting to on-line facilitation we have come to learn and practice many skills and techniques that can make the facilitation of online workshops more effective.  When facilitated well participants are able to learn faster and connect more meaningfully with each other and acquire new knowledge.

This workshop will provide participants with skills, strategies and techniques that can:

• enhance the online facilitation experience
• improve participation
• support the connection between facilitator and participants
• build and maintain energy in a virtual group of participants.

Here is what past participants have said about group facilitation

"It has fundamentally changed my mindset and approach to small group facilitation. I have gone from viewing myself as the expert/teacher and fearing the participants to a place of quiet confidence and equality. I found the sessions so informative, easy to follow and am actually looking forward to my next opportunity to facilitate a small group as part of my work." 

“Fantastic two days. Very worthwhile for my work and was really engaging. Fantastic models as facilitators—made it enjoyable and a safe space.”

 “As nervous as I was, the benefit of actually putting into practice was invaluable. And more so observing the others participating in the practice group.”

“I cannot speak more highly of this experience. I was not expecting such in-depth and valuable training. [The facilitators] were so helpful, respectful and giving of themselves and their experiences as facilitators”.
