Process Facilitation Seminar
“Because of their proficiency with PCM concepts, and their passion for experiential learning methods, I have worked with the team at Next Element to design a customized PCM training curriculum for adventure facilitators. Process Facilitation Seminar offers a highly effective and precise method to improve facilitator skills of connecting, motivating, and managing conflict in group settings. I know of no other curriculum that offers the same level of observable, measurable, actionable, and effective skill-sets.” – Taibi Kahler, President and Founder, Kahler Communications, Inc.
Overview
A 3-day introduction to Process Communication for facilitators. Simple enough for the novice, deep enough to stretch the most experienced group facilitator.
Target Audience
Group Facilitators, Group Therapists, Youth Leaders, anyone that works with groups. At times we will utilize this seminar with special groups, such as parents, as the content has many applications.
Description
Process Facilitation was co-designed by Dr. Taibi Kahler and our trainers, and is the first adaptation of the internationally acclaimed Process Communication Model® (PCM) specifically for group facilitators. Process Facilitation focuses on how to individualize facilitation for personality type, paying special attention to psychological needs and motivators and differences in communication style. The six major sources of conflict in groups are identified, and techniques are presented to resolve them and enhance effective communication, learning, and participation. A variety of experiential activities help facilitators integrate the concepts to enhance their existing facilitation soft-skills.
Learning Objectives
- Identify the six Kahler personality types, including preferred language, motivational needs, and distress behaviors.
- Explain how to individualize group facilitation to engage and motivate each personality type.
- Describe the predictable negative attention patterns for each personality type, and how to motivate participants out of distress.
