Facilitation skills are essential to make it easier for you with any endeavor in which others are involved. They are about ‘how to’ work with others in a productive way. They focus on developing your people skills to perform your best helping any business / organization thrive.
Facilitation skills are an essential competency in all careers, whether you lead meetings remotely or in-person, are an analyst, a Scrum Master, an Agile Product Owner, an Agile team member, a Project Manager, a Consultant, a business owner, others… They help when working with others through effective active listening and questioning skills, through thought-processes that solve problems, with problem people and ‘how to’ form teams for better results.
Our attendees have gone on to be CEOs, CIOs, business owners, and leaders.

I founded MGR Consulting in 1985, a learning and collaborative leadership development consulting firm, and used my subject matter expertise about group facilitation and designed, developed, and taught the first structured facilitation-training program - FAST. In 2007, I then revolutionized my facilitation-training program with FoCuSeD™ - the 1st Holistic Structured Facilitation™ Technique - by being the first to see and describe how People and Process skills can be seamlessly integrated to drive consensus-based decisions.
I develop, conduct, and deliver learning programs with FoCuSeD™guide books that train employees and improve their job performance to work with a group to produce better outcomes - online, in-person, virtual, and on-site. Check out my Train-the-Trainer program to teach our Holistic Structured Facilitation™ Technique - I want everyone to succeed...
