New from CHTI: A brand new training led by CHTI’s Gina Rodriguez and Kelly Danckert!Kelly and Gina

Topics: Effective communication skills, overcoming challenges while facilitating, group decision-making

Description: A core function of coalitions is making decisions as a group around the most pressing issues affecting their communities. How can we effectively solve problems together, reach consensus, and resolve conflict? Being a dynamic facilitator means you can get a pulse of the group and direct the conversation to productive decision-making. However, this involves managing different personalities in the room and troubleshooting challenges as they come up. This training will provide a brief introduction to elements of facilitation and how to navigate difficult facilitation scenarios. Participants will be exposed to various challenging facilitation examples and work in small groups to practice working through facilitation challenges.
