INSTITUTE: Facilitation Practices: The Basics of Bringing People Together
Valuable leadership practice for county managers

How many times have you found yourself trying to bring parties together to find common ground on an agreement, policy or study?  County staff can play an important facilitative role to encourage agencies, community groups, neighborhoods and others to have a conversation to problem solve and seek solutions together. Facilitation skills are a powerful leadership practice – particularly when you don’t have formal authority to work through adaptive challenges or difficult problems. Whether you facilitate teams, inter-departmental or public meetings, or any group … the skills from this class will be of value. This workshop introduces the basics of facilitation and provides participants with a wide range of hands-on practices and techniques. Come prepared to try your hand at group facilitation!

Instructor:  Bill Chiat is CSAC Institute Dean and an experienced facilitator of complex internal and community groups.
