In a time when we are often playing multiple roles simultaneously, it has become apparent that as facilitators we need to be able to access more tools and methods that are appropriate to varied situations. We must be able to know how to proactively exercise professional stewardship and guide groups through their transformations to their own developmental potential.

This three-day course weaves together work on mental modeling with the emphasis on tools for the sake of enhancing creative facilitation and interaction.
