Purpose

The purpose of the High Impact Facilitation Intensive is to develop advanced-level competencies in facilitation for collective action and impact. Participants work to realize personal developmental goals and demonstrate newly acquired facilitation capacities. In addition to a 3-day intensive, the program includes post-intensive accompaniment in the form of coaching sessions and peer support and learning.

Program design

The High Impact Facilitation Program is a 4-month long program consisting of a 3-day Intensive followed by an accompaniment process where participants engage in applied learning, peer engagement and receive two individual coaching sessions. After four months, the program concludes with a 2-hour online completion meeting.

Outcomes

During the hands-on Intensive participants work towards the following outcomes:

• Self-awareness of preferred styles and approaches and the ability to step outside of those patterns when needed.
• The development of newly-acquired facilitation capacities.
• Design of structures and methods that create the conditions for deeper, more satisfying and efficient engagement and collaboration. This includes:
• How to sustain vibrancy, curiosity and motivation while navigating complexity
• How to create a safe and inviting space
• How to work with conflict
• How to drive effective cross-sector collaboration.
