Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting out, this is your safe playground to push boundaries, explore new methods, and level up your facilitation skills!
At Facilitation Lab Asheville, facilitators and collaborative leaders come together to experiment, refine, and grow through real-time practice and role-play – because we believe that learning by doing is the best way to develop our facilitation muscle!
We use a tried and tested role play format called Practice Playground, which is a dynamic, hands-on process to help us sharpen our skills in a low-stakes and interactive way.
This is a rare chance to practice in a truly safe and supportive environment, where we can test new techniques, experiment, take risks, and get valuable, constructive feedback from peers.
This month, we’ll be practicing Vision Exchange from The Grove. It helps you to describe and articulate a future state. More importantly, it encourages you to speak in the past tense – as if it’s already happened. This is helpful when working with groups to create vision statements or shared vision themes.
We’ll be at the Self-Help Building, located at 34 Wall Street (third floor conference room). Please arrive at least 15 minutes early to get oriented and settled. Directions on how to access the front door and elevator will be sent ahead of the meeting.
Make the most of your session
Come prepared to role-play and facilitate a new facilitation method or something you’ve been working on. We’ve found attendees who step up benefit the most because they receive tailored feedback, and leave with real growth and confidence.
