Introduction to the Art of Facilitation
With Laird Schaub and Ma'ikwe Ludwig
March 21, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at Heathcote Community in Freeland, MD
Cost: Sliding Scale $50 - $150
Do meetings frustrate you? Is the facilitation so passive that meetings are like walking through molasses and progress takes forever? Is the facilitation so controlling that people feel like they've been run over by a truck (or that the decisions were already made behind closed doors and the meeting is just a rubber stamp)? Do you dream of meetings where the group feels energized, engaged, and solid decisions get made? Help is on the way! The husband and wife duo of Laird Schaub and Ma'ikwe Ludwig will be offering a one-day workshop that provides an overview of the art of Integrative Facilitation, introducing participants to the essential orientation and skill set needed to turn pain into gain in cooperative groups.
