Facilitative Leadership Working Group

Purpose: To extend the learning from Facilitative Mediation training to application of the tools into your daily life. This includes your family, your colleagues, and especially in the workplace as a leader and manager.

Format: Seven 90-minute monthly meetings

A cohort style, small group that meets once a month for seven months (Oct-May). Designed for both recent Essentials participants and alumni. We plan to keep the group small (max. 10) and to utilize real-life experiences, debriefs, etc. For example, session topics may include:

• Setting goals inclusive to the diverse group

• Team Development

• Difficult Conversations one-on-one

• Employee Development:

  • The Leader as Facilitator and Guide

  • The Supervisor/Employee Relationship

• Accountability and Direct Communication

• Time Management and Work-life Balance

Location: Will rotate based on participants’ locations

Schedule: One morning a month, usually the 3rd Thursday from 9:15am -10:45am. Final schedule to be determined based on availability of participants and instructors.

Prerequisite: Cohort members must have completed the Essentials of Facilitative Mediation training prior to participating in this working group. This training occurs each April and October. Register here.
