Facilitator Mentor Program

Consider a Mentor

Mentoring will help you assess what your current facilitator competencies are and help you take the journey to becoming more confident, present and skilled at working with groups.
Consider a Mentor

This program is beneficial for:

  • Anyone facilitating in their organization and who want to deepen their understanding of how to work with almost any situation

  • Students and organizational development (OD) consultants who understand the concepts of OD but are still not completely confident in their ability to use facilitation skills

  • Leaders who want to take a more facilitative approach with their peers and direct reports

  • Professional Facilitators, internal or external, who have a complex event to design and co-facilitate, including multi-lingual, cultural sensitivities, multiple stakeholders, etc.

  • Others who are regularly called on to facilitate groups but sense they may be lacking certain tools or methods, or simply want to become more present with the group

  • Facilitators ready to make the next step of certification
