A One-Day Course on Becoming an Effective Facilitator
Facilitation is often referred to as the new cornerstone of management philosophy. The Facilitation Skills workshop can help any organization make better decisions. This workshop will give participants an understanding of what facilitation is all about, as well as some tools that they can use to facilitate small meetings. A strong understating of how a facilitator can command a room and dictate the pace of a meeting will have your participants on the road to becoming great facilitators themselves.
Define facilitation and identify its purpose and benefits.
Clarify the role and focus of a facilitator.
Differentiate between process and content in the context of a group discussion.
Identify a facilitator’s role when managing groups in each of Tuckman and Jensen’s stages of group development: forming, storming, norming and performing.
Identify ways a facilitator can help a group reach a consensus: from encouraging participation to choosing a solution.
Provide guidelines in dealing with disruptions, dysfunctions and difficult people in groups.
Just wanted to extend thanks for your presentation on Communication. I found that session to be among the top three sessions of the week, including the keynote speakers.

ISACA CACS Conference, May 2016 (New Orleans, LA)
It was such a pleasure attending your class on yesterday, a job well done. You mentioned in the class that there were several spread sheets and charts available if we were interested. If you don’t mind I would like copies of the doc’s.
Thanks and I am sure I will be attending another one of your dynamic sessions.

Thank you for leading the session on Rethinking the Audit Process. I enjoyed it a lot as you were able to engage participants throughout the day to keep it interesting and educational at the same time. Thanks again and I hope to attend and I hope to attend other trainings that you lead in the future.

“First of all I want to thank you for the training provided, for your energy and for every single explanation given with a lot of patience. The training was very useful, especially for a person like me with no IT experience at all.”

I’ve been a member of the IAFCI since 1996 and had the pleasure to attend the IAFCI Training Conference in Fort Worth last month.
I really enjoyed your presentations on “ Practical Ethics part 1 & 2”. It was hands-down the best ethics session I have ever attended.

I attended your Project Management seminar today and found it very interesting and motivating! Would you please send me the project planning and status templates that you referenced today? Feel free to include any other template along these lines and throughout the process that may be helpful.
I look forward to attending other seminars that will be available later this year.

I enjoyed the class. Your delivery was unique/informal from other presentations I have been a part of and it was effective in delivering the message. I got a lot out of the last two and a half days.
Lansing IIA - November 2016
Danny is a great speaker and the review of the audit process is critical because many times, we might think we are being valuable to our institution, but we have some areas that we may lack. The discussions with the audience were helpful because I got to hear similarities and differences among audit shops because everyone has certain ways that they conduct their processes. As still being fairly new to internal audit, this session really opened my eyes more to the audit process and the ways that we should carry ourselves among our colleagues in the institution.
ACUA Annual Conference (Miami) - 9/2016
I just wanted to drop a quick note saying thank you for yesterday’s training. The group was the most genuine and engaged I’ve experienced – very neat to be a part of it. In our small group discussions, it was so rich in dialogue – I will use it in my daily life many times over.
