Please join us for this two-day immersive workshop on facilitation. It will be held in Iowa City on April 15th and 16th from 10am-5pm both days. This professional development opportunity is geared towards service providers, system partners, and folks with lived experience. Registration is required, please see below and the registration link for more details. 

ToP Facilitation Methods:

Do you struggle with circular conversation in meetings that don't seem to go anywhere?
Are you anxious about what to do when conflict arises or someone dominates the conversation?
Do you feel like a used car salesman trying to get people to stay committed and motivated to group projects?

In this engaging course you will learn three simple, universally applicable approaches to help you confidently move any group from conflict or confusion to consensus and commitment.

  1. Focused Conversation

A universal framework to generate meaningful, productive dialogue around any topic.

  1. Consensus Workshop

Infuse a group with creative energy and bring diverse opinions and perspectives into an agreement everyone can own and support.

        3. Action Planning

Quickly plan and prepare a group project for launch, and develop shared commitment to timelines, tasks, and success measures.

Immersive demonstrations, hands-on practice, peer coaching, and real-life application opportunities will ensure you leave with confidence to immediately put your new skills to use.

You’ll receive: step-by-step manual and resource guide + 1 hour of free expert coaching.

Must attend and register for both days
