Do you feel overwhelmed with the complexity of multiple perspectives in a group?
Are stakeholder and team collaboration not sustainable in your organisation?
Does your organisation struggle with achieving win – win solutions with their stakeholders and community?
Turns out that the facilitation of decision-making processes and community engagement with free, prior and informed consent is very different to community and stakeholder consultation without consent.
It can feel impossible to bring many diverse perspectives together and can take a seemingly impossible amount of time, but this doesn't have to be the case.
The problem is that we were not taught the crucial skills of effective consent-based collaboration.
Once you have learnt the principles and skills of facilitating consent-based decision-making processes, things get a lot easier, more empowering, and sustainable for everyone.
With consent, stakeholders, team members and community members are given a choice to approve what has been proposed. This results in sustainable buy-in from all group members.
This doesn't only support you within your organisation, but International and Australian Human Rights regulations require increased consent-based community engagement so this is a great place to start.

When I first started working with groups 30 years ago, I was terrified with the level of complexity and opinions I had to handle. I was making decisions for the group and went with the loudest voice, which created disempowerment and conflict.
My passion was to facilitate collective decision-making well and empowered as I knew that collaborative ways of working are essential if we want to create a sustainable future. So, I decided to master the Art of Consensual Decision-Making.
I did deep research, trained with the experts in co-operacy and facilitation, did countless hours of experimentation and personal development. Now I have exactly what it takes to empower groups as a confident group facilitator.
And so can you.

What Attendees Have Said
Empowered awareness
This webinar made me think more about situations for consent, about how to build trust and gave me specific tools that I can use to support people to feel heard and included.
The power of no
What I found most powerful was learning, as a facilitator, to give permission and encourage people to disagree and to practice saying no. I learned how liberating it can be to say no and to identify the opportunities for it.
Autonomy for cooperation
By doing this webinar I realised that if people don't feel that they have autonomy, they'll only be pseudo-cooperating. It highlighted how important it is to ensure everyone feels autonomous so they can really show up for the conversation.
