"I highly recommend Leading through Artful Facilitation to people ready and committed
             to take the next step in becoming the effective leader they can be, whether
                      leading from the front or from the middle.
"


Processes, procedures, protocols, systems and models are important for leaders and facilitators
to know and understand. Highly effective facilitation, though, is an art –  and unique to the
individual who is the practitioner. It is leadership in action. Those who are most effective at
leadership and facilitation don’t follow a routine or prescription – they follow their intuition
and judgment, relying on their understanding of self, people, and groups to respond to the
dynamics before them. They choose tools from an array of options rather than  following a
script or reacting with “what the book says”.

Leading and facilitating in this way is fun, exciting, and gratifying – because it is a creative
process that is new every time you find yourself in front of people... even if it’s people 
with whom you’ve worked for years.

Some comments from last fall's LAF.

Leading through Artful Facilitation is designed for those with the inclination to practice
leadership through the art of facilitation. Whether novice or experienced, participants will
learn about:

bullet

Themselves – how their style and behaviors contribute and get in the way of
        effective facilitation;

bullet

Others – how to recognize and engage with other personality/communication/interaction
        styles, what motivates people in general and how to recognize real-time dynamics that
        are specific to one individual at one specific moment;

bullet

Group dynamics – what are normal and predictable phases that groups go through, how
        are teams similar and unique, and how to work with both phases and collective
        (group) personalities; and

bullet

Conflict – recognizing it early and how to assist people through it constructively.

 

Each participant receives:
bullet

Ideas and coaching about blending the above components into unique, effective, and
        artful leadership and facilitation.

bullet

A Personal Strengths Profile and a copy of The Communicator. The PSP is a personality
       profiling instrument that provides significant information about style-based communication
       and behaviors. The Communicator is a small booklet that addresses the full spectrum of styles.
       Participants will find it useful for both understanding their own styles as well as providing
       better insight into facilitating others.

Organizational benefits: In addition to the leadership development and increased facilitation skills
of the participant, organizations will benefit from more effective and efficient meetings, improved
clarity and effectiveness in making decisions, and more productive working relationships. All of
these translate into a solid return on an investment in this workshop.

Leading through Artful Facilitation is a five-day course split into two sessions.
The first (two-day) session focuses on understanding and using conceptual models such as those
referenced above. The purpose of the “break” is to provide time for participants to practice what
they’ve learned
. Approximately six weeks later, the second session is devoted to review and discussion
of participants’ experiences, the opportunity to ask “what do I do when.... ?”, and then practice some
more. The result is a combination of experience and a deeper understanding of the models and concepts
in “real life”.

Leading through Artful Facilitation is a collaboration between Elaine Twigg Cornett and Zane Cornett.
Elaine and Zane are known across the country as highly effective and fun facilitators – as well as
exceptional coaches and trainers in leadership, teaming, ethics, and collaboration.


    "Elaine and Zane are excellent leaders, communicators, and collaborators – and,
              more importantly, they are warm, caring, and fun people!
