Facilitator Certification for Chiefs of Staff

Let’s face it: Your organization has changed. The last couple of years have likely encouraged (or even forced) you to adapt, set new goals, and solve problems you didn’t even know you had.

Some of these changes have been for the better, but none have been easy. At times, it probably felt like you weren’t all on the same page, your teams needed more direction, and no one was clear on the path forward. In short: there was a lack of effective facilitation.

At their core, great facilitators are process guides — they help teams navigate complicated business challenges by creating a clear picture of the problems at hand, giving them the tools they need to find solutions, and helping them get unstuck along the way. They provide the supportive guidance, psychological safety, and unbiased objectivity needed to help your organization thrive and move forward.

But it takes time, training, and ongoing practice to become effective facilitators. We’re here to guide you along the way. Our immersive and highly participatory approach will help you learn the skills critical to becoming a great facilitator, and how to integrate these principles into your daily work.

We’ll help you learn to:

Practice-informed

We won’t just help you understand the concepts, tools, and frameworks you need to move forward. You’ll get hands-on experience applying these methods across your work.

Guided & Personal

Your experience will be based fully around the needs of your organization. Our process is highly individualized and deeply personal. And we’ll be with you every step of the way.

Driven by Peer Learning

As much as you can learn from us, you can learn even more from each other. We’ll help you establish supportive peer-learning groups to productively share and receive feedback.

Impact-focused

Everything we do together will be in service of your goals. We’ll help you evaluate your progress by establishing KPIs, completing regular assessments, and celebrating your success.

What other leaders are saying

"As a venture-backed direct-to-consumer company, what we learn through customer experience directly evolves who we are growing into for current and new customers. As we mature to more retail presence in an unprecedented time of disruption and opportunity, every team member must be empowered with the vulnerability to iterate and actively listen for how to be present. Design thinking and facilitation taught by Voltage Control punctuates that kind of learning perfectly."It’s time for change in corporate culture."

Siya M.Customer Experience, Quip

"I realized my entire role is facilitation. I have to do a lot of lateral influencing. So I use these skills even if it is not a super-structured workshop. Our product team has micro meetings all the time, and these methods help us get the most of those moments. My team can lean on me to facilitate. You will redesign the way you have conversations. I can’t believe every college student doesn’t have to take a class like this. This is how you collaborate. It is the underpinning of the future of work."

Savannah CProduct Designer, Tailwind

"Voltage Control helped us manage two collaborating companies. Their facilitation meant that neither team was in charge and they were able to ask the ‘why’ questions with legitimacy.”
