Description

As technology makes information and learning available instantly, the value of great facilitation is changing. Simply delivering content is no longer enough.

Join Moe Poirier and Megan Torrance for a practical exploration of what today’s facilitators need to create learning experiences that people can’t get from content alone: connection, participation, trust, and meaningful human interaction. Moe will share ideas from his new book, The Five Personas of Facilitation: Elevate Your Training Delivery Strengths and Style.

You’ll explore practical ways to:
  • Move from delivering information to creating transformational learning experiences
  • Build connection, safety, and belonging in both virtual and in-person sessions
  • Encourage participants to contribute, rather than simply consume
  • Strengthen the human skills that become more valuable as technology advances
  • Develop facilitators who can create deeper, more engaging learning experiences

You’ll also see these ideas put into practice when Megan challenges Moe to a live coaching demonstration of advanced facilitation techniques.

Come away with fresh ideas and practical techniques you can put to work in your own training sessions.
