The Art and Science of Co-Facilitation
Upscale your leadership through the power of co-facilitation.
​
In a dynamic results-oriented environment, where leaders are leading teams of teams and where leaders are constantly challenged to collaborate and navigate change, the Art & Science of Co-Facilitation enables and empowers leaders to harness collective wisdom,
Based on the ORSC model, Alchemy is a three-day course designed for pairs that: ​co-facilitate, co-lead, co-present or co-coach.​
​
Magical co-facilitation doesn't just happen. But knowing how to mix science and systems theory with verve and vitality gives you and your partner the power to create and deliver great programs together.
Alchemy is for leaders who are increasingly needing to facilitate to create buy in, head meetings and navigate change. It is also for coaches, especially team and systems coaches; and facilitators who want to "up their game." You will incorporate the latest from systems and adult learning theories plus tips from neuroscience into your repertoire. And you will learn how to deliver seamlessly and in-sync with your partner.
​
The focus is on co-delivery. The dynamic of two people facilitating well together creates a deep connection with participants and a sense of energy and safety that support learning that sticks.
Have you ever left a workshop feeling uplifted and inspired? How about ready, able and excited to implement what you have learned?
​
Creating that kind of impact is what Alchemy is all about.​
This course allowed us to enhance our understanding of what makes a successful facilitator and co-leader.
We’ve been business partners for years and the Alchemy course has brought our partnership to a new level. We highly recommend it to anyone who is called upon to work in tandem with another professional to lead, train, coach, counsel or facilitate.
