Facilitation is a necessary art for anyone running meetings, holding presentations, negotiating deals or managing network opportunities.
How do we know if others in the room are engaged and listening? How do we know if we really have them on board? And how do we enable people to express their views in a way that also takes account of the needs of others?
Whether you lead projects from the boardroom, represent your company with clients and partners, or manage a team, improved facilitation skills will ensure you handle situations with a fresh flow and ease. You will be more able to keep objectives in mind, and to ensure that you are making the most efficient use of everybody’s time. And you will be better equipped to handle lively or difficult groups with authority, whilst establishing a genuine sense of respect and trust.

The approach of A Life at Work is about starting with the individual, the belief that everyone has a vocation, and that on some level we all know what that is. The clues are there for all of us, it is the things that get our attention, that we are passionate about and that we would do even if we were not getting paid to do it. We do it because we love to do it, and have to do it.
There are many cynical voices out there that would say that it is not possible for everyone to love what they do. Well they may be right, but is it possible for YOU to do something that you love. Whether you believe it is possible or not, either way you will end up being right.
