What to expect
What to Expect
We offer opportunities for facilitators to gather in a safe judgement-free zone to learn from experts and one another. Our community offers many levels of engagement and exclusive resources for facilitators, whether you are a beginner or a Master Facilitator. Our weekly Facilitation Lab makes up 5 key segments: impromptu networking, our guest facilitator session activity, community critique, a weekly giveaway, & After Hours. Come & network with facilitators from around the globe and expand your facilitator toolbelt from each Lab experience!
What You'll Learn
A preview into the first lessons of “Secret Agent Training”, as a multi-day cultural reprogramming experience where we examine what privileges we each have and how they can be used to effect change from inside our respective communities. This brief sample of work includes a short performance by the facilitator, and an interactive artistic journey into the visible and invisible privileges each of us carry. The core purpose of this course is to empower individuals through finding the places of power our voice can have and break down barriers to empathy and compassion between people of all kinds. Care will be given not to “out” anyone regarding their levels of privilege or lack thereof, and you will not be asked to participate or share beyond your own comfort level.
How You'll Learn
The workshop will be activity-based with facilitation simulations and collaborative sessions. You’ll recognize, practice, and design your workshops based on key learning experience design principles. We won’t just talk at you — you’ll learn through doing, work with other participants, and get feedback. There will be plenty of time for Q&A, so you can learn in real-time from a master facilitator with tons of experience running hundreds of workshops at some of the world’s largest institutions and enterprises.
