Group Facilitator-Trainer
A Facilitator-Trainer to Meet Your Business Objectives:
“The obstacle to learning is often what we already know,” Claude Bernard, Physician, Biologist.
SmartCoaching Training Programs:
| Personal and Relationship Skills | Leading People |
| Effective communication | Overcoming the generation gap |
| Handling stress through time and priority management | Managing diversity |
| Reading faster, reading more, reading better … for life! In conjunction with the Centre de lecture rapide CLR) | Making good use of business coaching to build an outstanding team |
Various organizational issues lend themselves to role-playing sessions organized by an actor-trainer. Such sessions pertain to conflict management, effective communication, time and priority management, negotiating skills and other subjects.
I work with certified actor-trainer Isabelle Galiègue who will build this course around your needs.
Facilitator: A Key Role in the Success of Your Meetings
In small work groups, team meetings and “private retreats,” my role as a facilitator is to :
- Make sure all points of view are expressed.
- Produce summaries and draw links between different actions.
- Stay on course with the meeting’s objectives (how often do you stray from the real issue?).
- Deal with emotions generated by animated discussions.
- Revive the discussion if few ideas emerge.
I personally enjoy facilitating work meetings because they put all of my coaching skills to the test:
- Active listening
- powerful insight
- keen observation
- emphasis on results
- efficient communication
- generosity and audacity
Training Includes Much More than Theoretical Tools
SmartCoaching takes the time to develop a training program suited to the specific needs of your participants and to find case studies relevant to your activities. Our trainers emphasize opportunities for interaction among participants, role-playing and learning based on familiar organizational situations.
We provide participants with a carefully designed set of courses notes so that they can devote their full attention to the program and subsequently refer to these notes when necessary.
SmartCoaching Emphasizes Long-Term Retention:
Spending lots of time and money on training?
Satisfied with the learning retention rate?
Those who fail to apply what they learn on a daily basis quickly lose key course concepts.
A follow-up program or a mini-coaching session a few weeks after the conference will help ensure that your employees put what they learn to use.
