Facilitation: Become a Master Facilitator and Team Leader (Udemy.com)

I’d like to ask you a question…

What do you worry about when it comes to your facilitating discussions with your audience?

Well, we decided to find out…

After interviewing literally hundreds of facilitators, we discovered the top 22 things facilitators worry about when it comes to their audience whether that be audience, executives, technical professionals or sales staff.

Ask yourself, have you ever had any of the following concerns?

1. “I’m worried I won’t know how to answer questions.”

2. “Facilitating material I am not an expert in.”

3. “Not being able to engage or excite people to action.”

4. “I’m afraid no one will like me.”

5. “I’ll make people feel more confused.”

6. “Creating compelling and actionable deliverables.”

7. “Losing credibility with the group.”

8. “Extremely uninterested, despondent or disgruntled classes.”

9. “Looking un-knowledgeable.”

10. “Audience won’t understand my lesson.”

11. “Wondering if everyone got it.”

12. “Stuttering or losing my place.”

13. The whole group is asleep.”

14. “Feeling nervous and uncomfortable throughout the session.”

15. “Getting lots of negative feedback (more than other facilitators).”

16. “Not being able to fill the time.”

17. “I want to avoid looking foolish, awkward or uncomfortable.”

18. “Failing to communicate.”

19. “What if I look stupid?”

20. “Teaching something incorrectly.”

21. “Closing so that people take action.”

22. “Saying something completely wrong and not being corrected.”

To help you handle each of these twenty-two concerns and more, we created Facilitate…

"Today's program was really about practical tips, information that you could take away and apply in any facet of your daily routine, like facilitation, teaching, training, talks, working with groups, facilitating large groups or small groups."

Steve - Business Manager

"I found this to be really worth my time, it gave me actual take-aways, things I can do today and tomorrow in my teaching and in my group facilitation that will actually make a difference and make my presentations more compelling and make me more confident as a presenter."

Karen - Language Arts Professor

“I have been to several seminars on public speaking and giving presentations, including Dale Carnegie training. I truly went into this thinking that I couldn’t possibly learn anything new, but I found myself scribbling notes like a mad woman during the presentation. I quickly realized that these were tips and techniques that I had never heard before, and that I could use immediately upon my return to the office.”
