Facilitation Style
The greatest gift I have been given is the ability to see the world through other people’s eyes. As I facilitate sessions or deliver training classes, I stay in tune with the participants to help them receive the message and/or deliver their message in a way that others understand it. I gather as much information as necessary on the front end in order to design an effective session. However, I adapt the exact flow of the session to the specific group dynamics or new information that might surface. I have found that sometimes taking a small detour helps the team deal with an issue that might have otherwise kept them from achieving their objective in the allotted time. My energy level is contagious and I use humor wisely to break the ice and help the team deal with tension. I use a variety of tools to keep the sessions interactive. I also ensure that the nature of the discussions and the outcomes of the sessions I facilitate are practical and applicable to real life challenges that the organization faces. I have facilitated sessions and conducted training courses in Germany, Spain, Switzerland, Greece, Thailand, Japan, and multiple regions in the U.S. I have always gotten extremely positive feedback on my ability to communicate across language and cultural boundaries and quickly figure out how to work with the nuances of each specific culture or business situation to help participants not only have an effective session but establish long lasting lines of communication which serve their business well on a going basis.
