Principles Which
Guide This Program
Trust your hunches - learn to use your feelings as a group
barometer
Trust the process - learn to detach from outcome and let go of your
need to control
Be authentic in your role - learn how to develop your character and
forget about your reputation
Meet people where they are - learn to be in a place of compassion,
integrity and love instead of fear.
Be present and grounded- learn to be fully in the moment and
mindful of all that is going on
These principles guide the facilitation process. Each principle is
explored fully in the 5-day workshop. Participants will be both members of
consulting teams and facilitators/consultants to another team. This will
enable you to experience working your own team issues. Your team will
contract work with another team, diagnose their needs, design and
implement an intervention. The workshop is primarily experiential with
theoretical inputs. This is an intense residential program which involves
some evening work.
What People Say
"…better presentations
[according to my reviewers] by staying in the moment that Linda
demonstrates so very well ......also did a special presentation about the
'heart connection' these are the two constants and most enduring facets I
have taken from the seminar. They serve me more every day in the way I
present myself... I can just be and lessen my judgment and opinion
mindset..." -John Sweetnam, President, CDS Group of Companies
"My experience attending Linda's Advanced Facilitation Skills course
vastly exceeded my expectations. What I learned about my own effect on
group interaction and about my personal reaction to some group dynamics
has continually improved my skill and confidence as a facilitator. I've
recommended this course to many of my colleagues and all have returned
from the experience with a sense of renewal and excitement."-- Linda
Padfield, Director of Organizational Development, Inco
"Within 1 hour of beginning our 5-day retreat, Linda created an
environment that invited direct talk about deeply felt issues. Her own
willingness to be transparent to others invites like disclosure. Her
compassion, skillful discernment, and sense of humor, provide loving
challenge and new insights for everyone in the room! -- Karen Shuttleworth,
Educator/Facilitator, St. Joseph's Health Centre
