Are your meetings lacking engagement?
Are you so focused on the set agenda that you become disconnected from the participants and lose their attention?
Do you struggle to understand what the right intervention might be to move the group toward achieving their desired outcomes?
To facilitate complex change and navigate the unknown we need to be able to read the energy in the room.
Facilitation is very different to coaching or presenting.
A facilitator holds the group processes and does not add to the content.
It’s left to you to hold the attention of the group and get them to engage, and that can be hard.
The problem is that we were not taught the skills of reading our participants energy or the collective energy in the room. We also weren't taught what group prompts or interventions can move a group forward when the energy is low or disengaged.
Once you have learnt the skills to read the group and listen for the unsaid, things get a whole lot easier and your interventions and meetings will become much more effective and intentional.

What Attendees Have Said
Noticing subtleties
This webinar helped me go deep on 'noticing' skills and techniques. Simone had excellent knowledge on what to do to read the room and has a great mix on providing knowledge and techniques as well as group engagement.
Making the intangible, tangible
Simone had clear and practical insights to support deeper facilitation practice and made 'energy' something tangible.
Deeper listening
Simone helped me realise that online facilitation doesn't have to be different to in person. She showed me how to deepen and refine my skills to listen to the cues and audio to read the individual and groups energy regardless of the platform.
Normalising conflict
I struggled with what to do when triggers emerge in facilitating groups but attending this webinar taught me how to own what's mine and how to manage myself when someone or something outside of myself is triggering or distracting me. Simone was very skillful at showing how to give permission and normalise conflict when it arises.
'Being with'
Thank you Simone for a fantastic webinar. I learned so much about 'being with'. I loved it!
Necessity
I'm now able to distinguish between when reading the energy is essential vs not. Thanks!
Being the mirror
A key learning for me was "you are the mirror of your group". So powerful.
