ToP Facilitation Methods

Unlock the Power of Collaboration

Do you find meetings spinning in circles, with conversations that lead nowhere? Are you unsure how to handle conflict, dominant voices, or waning group motivation? The ToP Facilitation Methods Course equips you with the tools to confidently guide any group from confusion and conflict to consensus and commitment.

In this immersive, hands-on course, you’ll learn three universally applicable facilitation approaches designed to transform group dynamics and achieve meaningful outcomes:

1. Focused Conversation

Harness a structured framework to generate purposeful and productive dialogue.

• Conduct meaningful discussions that surface ideas and solutions.
• Encourage candid feedback and stimulate creativity.
• Keep meetings on track and results-driven.

2. Consensus Workshop

Turn diverse opinions into unified agreements everyone can support.

• Tap into both rational and intuitive thought processes.
• Respectfully integrate differing perspectives into actionable solutions.
• Minimize conflict while achieving consensus.

3. Action Planning

Guide groups to create shared goals and a roadmap for success.

• Analyze current realities and set inspiring, actionable objectives.
• Foster collective ownership of timelines, tasks, and outcomes.
• Leave with a plan that is both creative and practical.

Through interactive demonstrations, hands-on practice, peer coaching, and real-world application opportunities, this course ensures you’ll leave with the confidence to immediately apply these methods in your work.

• A step-by-step manual and resource guide.
