Workshop

Facilitation and leading meetings

Benefits

Do you know the situation? Hours-long meetings – and still no decision at the end. Lots of talk around the topic – but what's the essence? Moderating and leading groups is an art in itself.

Difficult situations don't throw them off, because they know strategies for handling them with composure.

And if participants' hearts sink before a facilitation session, they won't stay there long: they know techniques to tune themselves mentally, physically and vocally before every appearance.

Objectives

  • learn facilitation tools.
  • know how to stay in the lead.
  • guide and motivate your team.
  • You can guide through the process.
  • You can start and end your meeting/workshop on a positive note

Content

  • How to make optimal use of your impact when facilitating
  • How the verbal, paraverbal and nonverbal levels of communication interact
  • Convincing with passion, confidence and expertise
  • How to use your body language and voice while seated
  • Structure for a meeting, a workshop or a conversation
  • How to formulate your goals in a focused and appealing way
  • Conveying confidence: how to present the benefits clearly and efficiently
  • Using a flipchart and visualizations during the meeting
  • On equal footing: speaking the language of your target audience
  • Making meetings interactive: tips and tricks
  • Dealing with disruptions and objections
  • High status – eye-level status – low status
  • Dealing with killer phrases
  • Exercises against stage fright, nervousness
  • Exercises to get yourself into a good state

You register as an individual and train in a group. The workshop lasts one day. The focus is on DOING IT YOURSELF:

You will try things out, practice, receive feedback and gain confidence. We also work with video feedback.

We look forward to seeing you!

Until then: start your meeting or workshop with a question, a story, an image or an object. Then greet your audience. This gets your audience on board right away.

  • Liebe Sibylle Nochmals vielen Dank für den spannenden Einblick in die Welt des Auftretens und Wirkens letzten Samstag. Ich nehme viele Impulse mit, lasse sie noch setzen und schaue, wie ich sie da und dort einsetzen und erpoben kann.

  • Der Kurs findet in der Kleingruppe statt und bietet viel Zeit, um vor der Kamera zu üben. Es war sehr lehrreich und ich freue mich auf die Umsetzung in der Praxis. Vielen Dank!

  • Wir waren nur zu zweit und haben viel vor der Kamera geübt. Es ist schon erstaunlich, wie man sich in nur einem Tag verbessert. Danke Sybille, für den tollen Tag.

Presentation skills and rhetoric

Einen Grossteil unserer Arbeit verrichten wir im Kopf, im „stillen Kämmerlein“ am PC. Auch wenn wir unsere Überlegungen am Ende an ein Publikum weitergeben wollen, sitzen wir da und arbeiten …

Authentically successful

Only when we ourselves are convinced can we convince others. It's important to know where our strengths lie.

Body language, voice, impact

Your words make up the content – but body language and voice determine the impact. Anyone who wants to appear present, convince and inspire needs both in harmony.
