Graphic Recording & Facilitating

Graphic recording & facilitating involves capturing, usually on large-sized paper—in words, images and colour—people’s ideas and expressions as they are being spoken in the moment. This 2-day program will provide you with a leading edge and unique skill.

This 2-day program introduces participants to the basics of being in front of audiences. This program deals with impact, nerves, structure and style.

This 2-day workshop builds the facilitators toolkit full of tips and techniques to help groups achieve their outcomes. Come and learn about when it’s right to use an Open Space, Appreciative Inquiry or a simple SWOT analysis.

Flipcharts for the artistically challenged

You don’t need to be an artist to create visually appealing flip charts. It’s simply a matter of using lines and shapes cleverly. This 1-day workshop will give you the foundation skills to create the kinds of flipcharts that you, and your participants, won’t want to throw away!

Agility –v- Resilience

I have just come back from a large summit up in Ho Chi Minh city where the word “resilience” was used a lot.

It reminded me that this is a word I hear about a lot in organisations, and amongst trainers.

When I hear the word “resilient” I immediately think of a toy I had when I was a kid. It was one of those blow up clowns, weighted on the bottom, so that when you knocked it over, it would bounce straight back to it’s original position. To me, that’s what resilience is, bouncing back.

When it comes to being a trainer, you need a certain level of resilience, sure. However I think the real trick is agility.

For me, agility is about bouncing back to a different position, to avoid being knocked down again. It would be the blow up clown with a bit of AI artificial intelligence that when it bounces back, it is to a different position every time. It learns where the “blows” are coming from and responds accordingly.

To do this, trainers need to have lots of tools and techniques so that they can move and work and find the mark with their participants.

The Law of Requisite Variety is sometimes known as Ashby's Law after William Ashby is:

"the variety in the control system must be equal to or larger than the variety of the perturbations in order to achieve control"

This simply means that a flexible system with many options is better able to cope with change.

Being an “agile trainer” requires consideration of the following:

1. If you are stuck, try something…ANYTHING! … and pay attention to the feedback you are getting.
2. If that doesn’t work, try something else….and pay attention to the feedback you are getting.
3. There’s no such thing as failure, only feedback
