The role of a facilitator is crucial to the success of any meeting, panel or conference.

An effective moderator keeps the discussion focussed, brings in a range of voices and makes everyone feel heard. But being a facilitator comes with its own challenges, from knowing how to take control of a conversation without dominating, to managing conflicting opinions, to keeping to time.

Watch this free online workshop to learn how to become a fantastic facilitator. You’ll explore the process of facilitation from start to finish, from crafting an ideal agenda, to expertly managing a range of opinions in the room, to thoughtfully following up with participants to ensure maximum effectiveness.

Who should watch:

This workshop is for public servants and policymakers who are interested in developing their facilitation and communication skills, whether you regularly moderate meetings or events or want to learn how to for the future.
