Captains of Leadership | classroom Course

Apply Facilitative Leadership

During this training, we will simulate real workshop situations and figure out what it really means to apply Facilitative Leadership.

This course has been specially designed to develop your facilitative leadership skills. It will:

  • deepen your understanding of facilitation as a form of leadership

  • provide you with hands-on techniques to get the best out of a team in co-creation

  • empower you with easy-to-understand ways to manage your optimal state.

You will take steps outside your comfort zone to reach that perfect state of focus that allows for self-awareness and learning new ways to lead a team in co-creation. You will also learn how to manage your state for optimal facilitation.

After completing this course, you will have a profound and practical understanding of the three competence areas that turn facilitation into leadership: Guiding, Conducting and Catalyzing, the ‘Facilitator’s trinity’. It will also boost your confidence, strength and focus.

What to expect

Building your facilitative confidence to lead workshops

  • Only 6 captains, a small group to ensure the perfect safe space for experimentation.

  • During our live sessions, you will learn about dealing with the difficulties of working with different

    personalities and you will better understand your own personal pitfalls and strengths.

  • The one-to-one coaching time happens before the actual sessions and provides you with tips and tricks to

    stretch your facilitation beyond your usual approach.

  • A month after the training we will reconvene to share how everyone has put their learnings into practice.

  • You will meet and learn from a group of peers, of like-minded explorers.

  • Every participant receives the book ‘Captains of Leadership, explaining in detail all the aspects you learned about in this course.

Facilitation is the purest form of leadership, A facilitator is ‘giving’ by holding space for others to become a coherent group of people. It is a brave thing to try and be a selfless leader who just wants to help people to get the best out of a shared moment. Just for trying, you deserve that respectful title of captain.

I can’t wait to meet you in this training and learn about your journey as a Captain. I truly hope that this training will help you to build your facilitative confidence.
