At Collaborative Commons, we are thrilled to announce the launch of the Facilitation Academy—an immersive, three-day training program dedicated to expanding the role of facilitative leadership in our communities. Set against the stunning backdrop of Grass Valley, California, the Facilitation Academy is designed to equip leaders with the skills they need to foster collaboration, guide productive conversations, and create impactful change.
Why Facilitation Skills Matter
In today’s increasingly interconnected world, the ability to bring people together effectively has never been more important. Community leaders, business leaders, and team builders all face the challenge of navigating diverse perspectives, complex group dynamics, and the need for innovation. Strong facilitation skills are critical for transforming these challenges into opportunities for growth and collaboration.
The Facilitation Academy aims to strengthen these skills, empowering participants to step into their roles as effective facilitators who inspire action, solve problems, and guide groups toward achieving meaningful outcomes. Whether you are leading a community initiative, managing a business, or building a collaborative team, the ability to effectively facilitate can make all the difference.
Who Should Attend?
The Facilitation Academy is ideal for anyone in a leadership position who wants to enhance their ability to guide groups and foster collaboration, including:
Community Leaders: Develop the skills you need to bring people together, build consensus, and drive community initiatives forward.
Business Leaders: Learn how to effectively facilitate meetings, build stronger teams, and create a culture of collaboration within your organization.
Nonprofit Directors: Hone your skills in leading group discussions, managing stakeholder input, and building strong partnerships.
Educators and Trainers: Expand your ability to lead interactive sessions, engage participants, and create impactful learning environments.
What to Expect
The Facilitation Academy is a hands-on, interactive experience. Over three days, participants will learn advanced facilitation techniques, practice them in real time, and receive personalized feedback to help them grow. Our goal is to help you expand your skill set, deepen your understanding of facilitation, and leave feeling confident in your ability to lead diverse groups to success.
You will also learn to develop an action plan for your own growth as a facilitator, identifying key areas to focus on in your continued journey of professional development. With expert guidance and support from seasoned facilitators like Scott Winter, you’ll gain the tools and insights you need to make a real difference in your work.
