TELECLASSES

  1. THE IMPROVISATIONAL FACILITATOR – A Five-Day Tele-class -- In affiliation with Facilitation U

    Here’s some buzz on this tele-class:

    A week after the course I have found myself talking about and actually using the techniques taught! The experiential based learning really worked for me and I learnt whilst having fun – always a good way to retain new learnings. The course has provided me with a tool kit of great techniques to improve my own facilitation, as well as some enjoyable exercises to use with delegates. I have nothing but praise for both Sue and Steve, who walked their talk with their own facilitation skills – they simply flowed through the course with grace and intelligence. The content, the materials and the facilitators is 5 star stuff and I highly recommend it to any facilitator.

    I really enjoyed the Improv class. Great material, excellent delivery including the opportunities to "try it out" in partner settings.

    Sue is masterful at doing something one might imagine impossible: modeling, demonstrating, and applying the tools of improvisation on the telephone! She really understands how facilitation works! She's created a tele-course (and a fabulous course book!) that will give even the most experienced facilitator some new tools to apply right away. And, some new things to think about for weeks to come. I've been facilitating virtual teams for six years and I definitely appreciated her mastery! I recommend that facilitators wanting to build their skills for NON face-to-face facilitation sign up for this course TODAY.
