About this Event

In a time when teams are navigating complexity, polarization, and big decisions, facilitation isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s essential.

That’s why this training goes beyond just skill-building. It helps you think like a facilitator.

Understanding the mindset behind facilitation—how to hold space for disagreement, make room for uncertainty, and guide groups without taking control—is what makes facilitation powerful. Tools are only useful when applied with intention. This training equips you with both.

You’ll walk away with:

  • A new framework for thinking about your role when guiding groups
  • Core skills like active listening, asking powerful questions, and managing group dynamics
  • Real-time facilitation practice with feedback
  • Strategies for designing inclusive, purpose-driven meetings
  • A deeper understanding of how to stay grounded in difficult conversations

Who this is for: Facilitators, team leaders, nonprofit staff, educators, organizers, and anyone responsible for helping people move forward together.

Training Details:

  • Location: Denver, CO (venue shared after registration)
  • Dates: October 22 & 23, 2025
  • Time: 9:30 AM – 4:00 PM each day
  • Includes: Light breakfast, lunch, materials, and a certificate to honor the completion of course 

Why now? Because the ability to guide dialogue with clarity and care is no longer optional. It's what leadership looks like today. Space is limited. Register now to be part of this in-person cohort and invest in your capacity to lead meaningful, courageous, and collaborative group processes.
