We are in the midst of our annual retreat and are considering creating a process team and or facilitation team and this is perfect. We are already getting rumblings of concerns about the power that our agenda planners have so the ideas for diffusing that is perfect. Now all we need is enough interested parties to have the committees have different staffing:-)<BR/><BR/>TonyTony Skyhousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02202478232135542928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2090387618484983886.post-56026150769251888682008-01-28T09:35:00.000-06:002008-01-28T09:35:00.000-06:00Hey everybody-- for those interested in learning f...Hey everybody-- for those interested in learning facilitation, Laird and Betty Didcoct are planning to do a two-year facilitation training in the Northeast and another in the Northwest; and Laird and I are working on the same thing in the North Carolina area and southern/mid California. For any of these, you can connect with Laird and he'll put you in touch with our local coordinators: laird@ic.org and (660) 883-5543. <BR/><BR/>I was a student of Laird and Betty's a few years ago in the Colorado training, and it was a great experience-- slow and steady skills building over two years with a lot of live practice, peer feedback and honest self-reflection, and companionship with others who really care about group dynamics and/or are interested in filing a servant leadership role. I'm now doing this work professionally and teaching consensus and facilitation... so this can actually be career development as well as personal enrichment.<BR/><BR/>Take care!
