Course Overview
Events do not just happen, they take time to plan, develop, and
create. This course is designed to give participants the tools needed to
host a great event. They will touch on planning and administrative
techniques that will give them the confidence to run an engaging event
that will leave a positive and lasting impression an each attendee.
With our Event Planning course participants will explore ways to work
with vendors, security, technicians, and wait staff. They will touch on
different event types such as awards ceremonies, charity events, and
business conferences. By utilizing the correct skill set participants
will be provided the details to pull off a successful event.
Research has consistently demonstrated that when clear goals are
associated with learning, it occurs more easily and rapidly. With that
in mind, let’s review our goals for today.
At the end of this workshop, participants should be able to:
- Define facilitation and identify its purpose and benefits.
- Clarify the role and focus of a facilitator.
- Differentiate between process and content in the context of a group discussion.
- Provide tips in choosing and preparing for facilitation.
- Identify a facilitator’s role when managing groups in each of
Tuckman and Jensen’s stages of group development: forming, storming,
norming, and performing.
- Identify ways a facilitator can help a group reach a consensus: from encouraging participation to choosing a solution.
- Provide guidelines in dealing with disruptions, dysfunctions, and difficult people in groups.
- Define what interventions are, when they are appropriate, and how to implement them
