Facilitating Challenging Conversations series: Facilitation Basics (Part 2 of 3) | CSU CCC

This 3-part asynchronous Zoom series will provide guidance in facilitating open and honest exchange while maintaining collegial, supportive and inclusive interactions. Anyone who needs to lead group discussions in any context is encouraged to join us. *NOTE: The sessions offered this fall will focus on workplace interactions; however, many of the strategies discussed are applicable to contexts both inside and outside the classroom, with colleagues as well as students. What a facilitator does with and for a group, sometimes before even walking into the room, can make a world of difference for how discussions will go. In this workshop we will discuss actions you can take to create the conditions for productive conversations about challenging topics, including establishing clear guidelines for interaction and providing careful structure for the discussion. We will also discuss strategies to address common facilitation concerns / challenges.

This is Part 2 of 3.

Facilitated by:

Jennifer Yamazeki
