Creative Facilitation Toolkit

A facilitator is not the cleverest person in the room. They are the reason the room gets clever.

Training & Facilitation

Who It Is For

  • Trainers, facilitators and workshop leads
  • Managers running offsites, huddles and strategy days
  • Anyone whose sessions are good and never quite land

How It Runs

  • Two days, in person — this one cannot be watched
  • Every tool is run on the room before it is explained to the room
  • English and Urdu

What It Turns On

  1. 01

    Design a session as a sequence of experiences rather than a running order.

  2. 02

    Get a silent room talking and a dominant one sharing.

  3. 03

    Run energisers, simulations and debriefs that pay for the time they take.

  4. 04

    Recover when the plan is clearly not working, in front of everyone.

The broad outline

  1. 01

    In context

    The session you ran that died, described honestly, with the moment it died identified.

  2. 02

    Know

    What facilitation is for, and the line between facilitating and presenting that most people cross without noticing.

  3. 03

    Go

    The toolkit: openers, energisers, structured discussion, simulation, visual methods and the debrief — which is where the learning actually happens.

  4. 04

    Show

    Each participant facilitates a live segment for the room, is observed, and does it again with the feedback in hand.

  5. 05

    Close

    Your own session, redesigned as a sequence of experiences.

What You Are Left Holding

  • A toolkit you have personally run, not just read
  • Your own session redesigned
  • A recovery move for the session that stalls
