Advanced Trainings
Community Boards’ Advanced Trainings target important topics that are integral for becoming successful mediators. Our training leaders are specialists in their respective fields, bringing personal expertise developed through their own, hands-on professional practices.
MARCH 3-4, 2012: Facilitation Training
TRAINERS: Betsy Zeger and Cordell Wesselink
Meetings today can be challenging due to the great diversity and competing needs (language, culture, ethnicity, age, gender) of those around the table. Facilitation can be one of the most effective tools for proactively addressing these challenges and generating productive outcomes.
Community Boards’ two-day facilitation training will give you proven and practical skills to be an effective, successful facilitator.
This training is ideal for a wide variety of people, including board members and officers, human resource and staff development professionals, program managers, work team leaders, social workers and family therapists, and community organizers.
Training topics will include:
- Development of comprehensive and inclusive agendas
- Effective facilitation and intervention techniques
- Identifying and balancing individual and group needs
- Setting and enforcing ground rules
- Addressing and managing “problem issues”
- Development of timelines, schedules and benchmarks
Suggested prerequisite: Community Boards’ The Basics of Mediation or similar mediation training/academic course work.
