The next Sydney Facilitators Network will be held next monday 11 March with an interesting topic:
Blending Facilitation and Instruction with Thiagi | Monday March 11 | 5.30pm
A facilitator helps a group of participants analyze and diagnose their situation, identify problems and opportunities, generate ideas and solutions, and plan to implement them. The facilitator is substantively neutral and does not have any personal goals other than to help the group achieve its goal. An instructor helps a group of participants achieve a set of pre-specified training objectives.
The instructor has a mandate to ensure that the participants achieve these objectives. For more than a decade, Thiagi has been blending the tools and techniques of facilitators and instructors to increase the effectiveness of both approaches. In this session, Thiagi will help you modify your mindset and enhance your competencies to become an instructional facilitator. So if you want to enhance your skills at facilitating a thoughtful discussion or creating a learning environment come along on Monday 11th March.
