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.
Thank you Danny.
Really enjoyed your course and I don’t say that very often.
IT Auditing for Non-IT Auditors (Omaha) Attendee - May 2017
In our Assessing Risk class last week, I had a gentlemen attend and state that he attended a similar class of ours seven years ago and it gave him a ton of insight on how they eventually set up their ERM program – always good to know that you are making a difference!

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.

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.

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.

“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.”

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.

Management:
I appreciate the time and effort Danny put into the training. We were a tough crowd and he did an excellent job.
I’ve been to a lot of trainings over the years. I think Danny is probably the best I’ve seen at creating an upbeat environment where everyone feels comfortable participating. He did really well at keeping folks engaged. He also covered a lot of valuable ground. On the whole, he was excellent.
