Facilitation as a Practice for Equity, Inclusion, and Power-Sharing – 03/25 9:30 am

If dominant culture thrives on individualism, an urgent pace driven by paternalistic assignment of tasks, and the stifling of conflict, then transformative culture rests on collaboration, big picture context setting, authentic grapplic and debate to arrive at collectively held decisions, and transparent implementation plans that allow for accountability. Inclusive facilitation is the key to this type of power-sharing for collective impact.

In this session, participants will learn the Be the Change methodology of layering group development principles with agenda design strategies and build the confidence and skills to hold process goals along with session outcomes.

Working from home has offered some new dips and turns. The simple in-person reminders have turned into 3 texts, 2 emails and 1 ZOOM call. Going virtual should not result in less collaboration and flattened meetings with one-way conversations driven by PowerPoints. In this session, participants will learn how to use a range of simple online tools like Google Docs and slides to slightly advanced tools such as MURAL to gather team feedback, integrate collaborative brainstorming and support transparent planning.

By ensuring your meeting participants feel connected, grounded and informed, you create the conditions for a high performing team.

In this session, we will learn strategies to deepen relational trust amongst your team members, visibilize how to support various learning styles, and design meeting agreements that will allow for more transparency and inclusion.

Finally, we will practice interactive techniques to invite a debate of ideas, where the facilitator listens for and lifts up key tensions to be resolved, rather than allowing the debate to dissolve into conflict.
