The Post Graduate Programme

• Psychological safety, creating and maintaining it. Safe from what, safe to what. Your intent, duty and behaviours.

• Content and process, further exploration.

• Group dynamics, looking into dynamics and group issues in more detail and intervening in them.

• Training others in facilitation skills. Looking at the different levels of facilitation training available and pitching training at the appropriate level for new facilitators.

• Observation and feedback. Developing further the facilitator's skills in observing and also the giving of feedback, understanding its meta process.

•Parallel process and field theory from Gestalt.

• The stages of facilitation and looking at them in more depth. Further work on partnership with the client and their participation in the full process.

• Further mapping of the facilitation stage, the main actors, interactions and the larger contexts.

• Further exploration of the spectrum of core to developmental facilitation and looking at more places on the range.

• The stages of group development as they apply to the facilitation process.

• Personal charisma and presence. How your personality impacts on the group and how you use it to advantage.

• Tools and techniques (as an aid to facilitation and not as an end in themselves). Further work around structures and using them.

• Other structures (basic structures), using them and elegance by design.

• The use of the self (the facilitator's own experience of what is going on for them) and developing skills in sharing this appropriately.

• Pace and what slowing things down really means. When and how to do it confidently and effectively.
