Fully Engaged: How to Facilitate High-Impact Group Experiences that Keep People Coming Back for More (March Full Day Workshop)

How many times have you participated in a group event only to find yourself bored, struggling to find relevance, or quickly forgetting what you’ve just ‘learned’?

The fact is that we all crave a deeper experience when participating in a group event, whether a presentation, workshop, meeting, class or other experience. It’s obvious that we’d want our time to be valuable and meaningful, and yet why do we so often feel the opposite? The skills and activities you’ll be learning in this workshop cover key factors to help you sustain engagement & interactivity during your events so that the impact is maximized and your participants keep happily coming back for more.

What you'll be diving into:

1. How to prepare adaptive content & group interactivities that engage the *whole* person, tap into the collective wisdom of the group & help foster collaborative creativity & productivity.
2. How to offer opportunities & tools (social media technologies) for staying connected to you and your material beyond your initial experience together.
3. How to create a safe 'container' that enables your participants to take the risk of stretching their trust muscles by engaging you, interacting with your material & connecting with each other.
4. How to prime the pump of interest in advance in order to spark curiosity & give participants opportunities to engage & make connections before your actual event.
5. How to come into full integrity with yourself so that your participants sense & trust that you're serving them confidently out of sincere care & purposeful passion.

2. a. How do we harnest positive, forward-moving, creative energy in group facilitation?

c. How do become more skillful in designing group experiences so groups become more committed to the agenda at hand and to driving deepr, more meaningful conversations and actions?
