During our Teambuilding Facilitator Training Program students will deconstruct the team development process, learning tips and techniques that focus on:

• Trust (laying a foundation for openness and understanding that will allow participants to take risks)
• Conflict (gaining comfort with engaging in unfiltered discussion around important topics)
• Commitment (achieving buy-in for decisions made by the team)
• Accountability (willingness to confront one another about performance and behavioral concerns)
• Results (valuing collective outcomes more than individual recognition).

Utilizing a combination of experience-based team building activities and traditional facilitation techniques (flip-charting, brainstorming, etc…) your training program will prepare new facilitators to create a learning environment, increasing the potential for creativity and innovation in teams and organizations.

The typical teambuilding facilitator training will cover:

• Effective sequencing of activities
• Types of activities (games, getting-to-know you, initiatives, low elements, trust building)
• Framing and debriefing techniques
• Building vs. buying your props and equipment
• Resources for facilitators
