2012 a year of growth

It is definitely going to be a year of growth for me in 2012 as I take on the role of President of the QLD chapter of the National Speakers Association of Australia. Nothing like putting into practice my workplace gardening philosophy!

Facilitation

Sometimes your team doesn't need more information to become engaged. . . they just need to work together better and make the most of the existing knowledge they have. This is where someone outside the organisation can often be required to ensure that the group stays on track and addresses the important issues. An external facilitator can also bring with them a range of ideas from other industries and organisations that can enhance the process.

 

With a degree in Adult Education and further training in facilitation skills Karen uses a range of thought provoking techniques to help maximise the potential in your team. She has facilitated sessions for senior leadership teams through to frontline managers in organisations of all shapes and sizes, with groups ranging in size from 5 to 100.

 

Karen's facilitation style has been described as a firm but fun. She is able to draw information and ideas out of the group using a range of facilitation techniques that allow her to ask the difficult questions without putting people offside. At all times she ensures that the session keeps moving and that people stay focussed and on track to achieve the outcomes set. However, she is flexible enough to deal with any unexpected issues that may arise on the day.

 

Karen can assist by facilitating a session to help your team to analyse the issues and design an action plan for moving ahead in the areas of:

  • Developing a leadership succession plan
  • Recovering from a leadership crisis
  • Creating a culture of engagement
  • Re-engaging a disengaged team
  • Managing generational transition
  • Attracting and retaining the generations

 

She also facilitates forums for community groups and government agencies to assist them to:

  • Engage with external stakeholders
  • Manage change processes
  • Develop effective leadership teams
