As part of our ongoing commitment to the personal development of our members, SLA in partnership with Perfect Information would like to invite you to “Facilitation Uncovered” led by Linda Cockburn.
The root of facilitation comes from the Latin facile or without difficulty. In the world of business it’s about creating a smooth and successful process for group sharing and decision-making; an invaluable skill. Good facilitation brings meetings to life, draws out the best in people, and gets results.
Whether you are facilitating a seminar, a meeting or a creative brainstorm the same principles can be applied. In this lively, interactive session Linda will explore the golden rules of facilitation – what makes the difference between a flat session and one where ideas flow, as well as sharing tips and techniques that will build your confidence in engaging a group and reaching your goal. We will also try out some facilitation techniques. Come prepared to give it a go!
Afterwards, you will have an opportunity to network and share experiences over drinks and refreshments.
Linda Cockburn is an incisive and inspiring facilitator who has actively delivered transformation and positive change within a number of organisations, including most recently the BBC. With more than 10 years experience facilitating groups to think more creatively, and a proven ability to deliver new ideas and new ways of working. She has extensive experience across both content and business functions of broadcast and digital media, charities, educational organizations, and in multicultural and multidisciplinary organisations.
