Facilitation
Facilitation and how we can work to support you
Making your events and meetings worthwhile
We’ve all been in those unproductive meetings or lacklustre events where you think about those hours of your life that you will never get back. It can all be avoided with the support of professional and independent facilitation.
Bringing together a team, a department, an organisation, the public or key stakeholders for a crucial meeting, and doing it alone, can be daunting and stressful. So much can ride on key meetings.
At FutureSpark Coaching, we take the worry and pressure off.
Our facilitation approach is focused on helping groups to accomplish more in less time, eliminating the need for multiple meetings.
We ensure that your meeting/event is:
-
- well-planned and running on time
- interactive and inclusive to optimise involvement
- energising and engaging for attendees
- focused and topical to deliver what you need
Our experience has shown that independent external facilitation also provides participants – particularly when the topic in focus is emotive or challenging – with the reassurance that all voices and views will be heard, in a safe space.
How we work with you to facilitate productive meetings and events
We will work closely with you to understand the context of your meeting well in advance –
- why your gathering is important for you
- the key issues you want it to cover
- who are your stakeholders/attendees
- how you want your participants/audience to feel leaving your event
- explore with you any anticipated challenges or risks
- what needs to be captured and recorded from participants
Knowing what needs to be delivered, we then design and plan the meeting/event format with you. Together, we will agree on how best to capture your participants’ crucial insights, views and agreements.
