What do workshops typically cover?

In a workshop delivered on Zoom, you’ll learn this three-phase decision-making methodology:

It can be used:

· Throughout the lifecycle of a long-term project

· To break through a bottleneck

· To reach a quick decision

This practical workshop teaches how to build trust from the very beginning, surface concerns and address them, and turn conflicts into dilemmas that the group feels energized to solve together. The intended result is a decision everyone supports that’s arrived at with surprising efficiency. Ample breakout activities and coached role-plays will prepare you to begin using Convergent Facilitation immediately.

After attending the Convergent Facilitation Workshop, I walked away feeling empowered to ask questions, dig deeper, not compromise, and not to be afraid to provide my ideas and thoughts because my opinion matters!

Staff Analyst, Santa Clara Valley Water District

It was so heartening to see the faces, interest and commitment from all over the world last week, and I am intrigued and hopeful about what this course might seed.
