Sydney Facilitators Network - 8th July Meeting
“Facilitating Trust” with Greg Jenkins
Trust impacts every aspect of our practice as internal or external change agents. We work with trust on many levels - trust between the change agent and the sponsor, the participant and the sponsor, among participants, between the change agent and the participants.
Trust is a condition of collaboration and a key ingredient in all successful change.
In this session we will explore trust and share our experiences of building trust through conversations, games and stories. How do we get to trust? What are some of the structures, tools and techniques in building and maintaining trust?
This session will be useful to all change agents whatever our level of experience.

Brainstorm
and discussion
- The best value of the
Network is the quality of guest speakers, the value of networking and
having contact with other colleagues within the sector.
- Other valuable
elements of the network are the frequency of meetings; having casual
speakers; collaboration so people are able to meet outside of regular
meetings; finding out what other NGOs are doing in the training area;
developing partnerships.
- Getting expertise
from outside of our organisation, on how to develop training material.
- Two meetings per year
is the preferred option, with shorter meetings
- Challenges of the
Network: is the inconsistency in the number of people
who attend the network.
- Members of the
network can present at the TDN meeting by sharing things such as –
presenting games, facilitation activities and techniques, practical things
to address issues affecting the sector.
- Some topic ideas for
future meetings: how to run sessions targeting larger audiences, how to
run cross cultural planning days, how to improve efficiency by using
technology to make our work easier.
- Explored the option
of opening the network to private consultants. To be further discussed.
- Next meeting: Monday
12 August from 9.30 am to 12 pm – Topic: “Training with soul” presenter
Vaughan Bowie.
