As a leader, you may personally have great rapport with everyone, but have you considered how well is your team is working with each other? Effective facilitation can help to foster positive working relationships and diffuse workplace tension, which in turn can improve job satisfaction and productivity.
In this course we will explore techniques that can bring employees together and change the team dynamics. You will learn how to observe and analyse behaviours, draw out insights from a group to maximise their contribution, and handle interpersonal conflicts or differences by using these as a catalyst for growth.
This course is perfect for managers and professionals from all sectors who facilitate groups and teams.
