Facilitation Skills

What is the role of a facilitator in an organization? A good facilitator is the one who plans, guides and manages a team event in order to make sure that the team’s objectives are achieved effectively, with clear thinking, full involvement and complete buy-in from every person who is concerned. A facilitator must possess excellent facilitation skills to create better, timelier decisions, promote fairness, and to manage meetings and planning sessions for timely and productive outcomes.

Hence, if you are a team leader who is accountable for guiding a team then this dynamic course is for you! This Facilitation Skills training course from PD Training teaches practical techniques to enhance your facilitation abilities, so that the team can accomplish a victorious decision, resolution or conclusion. The good thing is that this course is available now throughout Singapore.

I got a lot out of the sessions and am grateful for some of the tools that can help me in the future. Thank you very much. the course was relevant to my needs and the trainer was engaging and knowledgeable - never a dull moment and wasn't pushed into doing things or put on the spot. enjoyed the 2 day session and didn't think 'oh no I have another day of this!'

-Office of the Registrar of Indigenous Corporations


Kelli was an excellent presenter/trainer- very knowledgeable and also made the training interesting and enjoyable. I learnt quite a lot through the training and felt very encouraged by Kelli, who was very helpful. I will definitely be passing on good feedback to my organisation and contacts.

-QMI Solutions


We want more! please come back and do some more work with smaller groups.

-QMI Solutions


Our trainer was excellent. She tailored the day to our particular needs, and she was very flexible - allowing us extra time to discuss issues of most relevance to us. She was engaging and very adept at making people feel very comfortable talking about themselves and issues in a way that work colleagues might find difficult ordinarily. I cannot recommend her highly enough as a trainer.

-Department of Environment and Resource Management


Presentation of the training was to a very high standard!!! Very impressed!

-Department of Environment and Resource Management


Practical application in the course, scenarios and discussions were spot on. The instructor/facilitator lead by example throughout. Haven't looked at the student manual. I thought the trainer was excellent.

-Biota Holdings


I found the group exercises ("lost in a blizzard" and passing the ball in 2s) were very effective in illustrating the concepts of teamwork and SMART.

-Biota Holdings


Very helpful application ideas to help make our presentations more professional and poignant.

-Smartsalary


An Excellent course that reinforced facilitation skills and the highly experienced trainer taught using real life relevant examples.

-TAL – Life Insurance


The second half of the course was exactly what I was after. My needs were a little different than the rest of the class, but our trainer, Jack, took the time to make sure all my questions were answered. It was a very powerful and fulfilling day. A five star day...!
