Leadership Team Facilitation and Development
“Better conversations, better decisions, better results”
How I can help:
Senior leadership and mission-critical project teams use my approach to facilitation and decision making for the following reasons:
- They have a crucial goal to achieve and they aren’t sure that the way they currently communicate and make decisions will get them where they need to go
- The issues they need to raise are sensitive and challenging and they want a skilled facilitator to handle the difficult conversations that may emerge during these key meetings
- The team has a history of either avoiding big issues or discussing them in ways that are unproductive, leading to misunderstandings, low trust, poor buy-in and diminished relationships
- Occasionally a team takes its own development very seriously and wants to raise the quality of its communication and decision making to the next level. These teams don’t just want a skilled facilitator, they also want to acquire the skills and approaches for themselves
A unique approach
When facilitating senior teams or high-stakes projects , good facilitation skills are simply not enough. Sometimes the group can get stuck or interpersonal conflicts may come to the surface or need to be addressed. There are also occasions when a group needs some theory or a model to highlight why they are struggling to make progress. I have developed my approach based on bringing together three elements:
- The skilled facilitator approach (a world-class facilitation methodology developed by Roger Schwartz)
- Professionally qualified mediation skills for managing conflict and giving difficult feedback
- The vital conversations models and concepts to help teams understand where they may be getting stuck
How will you know if I’m right for your team?
I never facilitate a team unless they have first met with me and I gain their agreement to use my approach. Based on this principle, it’s the group members who get to decide if they want me and in what way they would like me to add value. Because I always aim to model my approach, the team will get to witness first hand the way I facilitate in the preliminary meeting, and therefore they can make a free and informed choice based on live evidence of my capability.
