When you work with Wisdom Within Facilitation, Training and Consulting, LLC you’ll receive the following expert services:
Wisdom Within Facilitation, Training and Consulting provides facilitation services to large and small groups. Facilitation is the process of helping groups achieve a common goal or outcome through dialogue, collaboration, and active participation. As facilitators we guide the process, encourage interaction, and support the group’s creativity. Facilitation skills used in this work include powerful questioning, active listening, providing feedback, managing group dynamics, and adapting to the grou’s group’s needs and preferences.
Our facilitation services include the following:
We listen to your needs and help you turn your ideas into specific products and deliverables. Before any event begins, we gather the ideas of participants to discover areas of agreement—and potential challenges. We use various tools and techniques to gather information, including participant interviews and web-based surveys.
We can provide meeting facilitation for your pre-determined agenda or design a tailored agenda for you. Our goal is an event and experience specifically tailored to your group that engages attendees and accomplishes your goals.
We structure and guide conversations to keep things on track and participants energized. During the meeting, facilitators capture action steps as they arise and guide the group toward the goal. After the meeting, everyone confirms group-generated action items and who will be accountable for their implementation.
Meetings and events are only as good as the actions and deliverables that come from them. We provide evaluation of the event and provide a quick turnaround of the meeting minutes and notes so you can take immediate action.
Training is a formal process by which instructors teach skills in order to help people improve performance at work. At Wisdom Within Facilitation, Training and Consulting, we understand and incorporate adult learning principles into every training design and delivery. Training sessions accommodate different learning styles, and participants are given opportunities to practice the skills they are learning. During the session, we adjust the training to the group dynamics so the entire group can advance as one cohesive unit.
Our training services include the following:
We help you determine what skills your group can most benefit from and how best to teach those skills to increase success toward achieving the goals of your organization so you see results.
We can provide training according to an established curricula or design a session specifically for your needs. When designing training sessions, we use established curricula design methods and practices.
We teach interactive sessions using established and creative methods in order to make learning stick. We include practical applications and practice in every session so that learners are able to take validated skills back to work with them.
We work with training sponsors to provide as much evaluation follow up as requested. Using the Kirkpatrick Model for training evaluation, we can provide evaluation as simple as a satisfaction survey or as complex as complex as on-the-job performance after the training.
