ACTIVE AND RECEPTIVE SKILLS FOR FACILITATORS
THREE-DAY WORKSHOP WITH DIANE MUSHO HAMILTON

Join Diane Musho Hamilton for a three-day intensive designed for facilitators, coaches, and leaders. The workshop will focus on deepening receptive and active skills for more effective and impactful facilitation.
- SKILL DEVELOPMENT Focus on deepening receptive skills such as listening and questioning, and strengthening active, dynamic, and clear-headed leadership.
- SELF AWARENESS PRACTICE: Using awareness, emotional intelligence, and presence as a barometer for working with groups.
- ATTENTION TO ENERGY: Sensing the energetic qualities in the room such as coherence, differentiation, or vitality, in order to better serve the whole.
- INTEGRAL THEORY: The ability to seek, take, and integrate different perspectives.
FEEDBACK AND PRACTICE
This training is based on action-learning–learning by doing in a feedback-rich environment. It is highly experiential and engages the group in dialogue and exercises to awaken our capacity to work with challenging occasions, turning them into opportunities for deeper bonding and growth. This experience weaves in live demonstrations and unique “pointing out” instructions, making the subtle group dynamics more visible to everyone. Like a sports team reviewing the last play on the sidelines, you will have the opportunity to freeze-frame and zoom in and out of the group dynamics. Lastly, because this is a training environment, you will have opportunities to practice facilitating group conversations and receive real-time coaching and feedback from your trainer and peers.
