Overview
Professional facilitation needs planning, preparation, presence, understanding, support, structure and flexibility. Yes, and nobody in the professional world claims that it doesn’t have to be creative and fun at the same time. The use of improvisation in facilitation is about creating an interactive experience for participants to tap into their intuition, intellect and a wholesome state of mind and heart.
The practice will enable us to uncover how structures, systems, habits and closed mindsets impact the way we work and communicate with each other. It keeps us in the present moment and deepens our understanding of situations that we are in as we navigate from a stuck state towards co-creating a strong, synergistic and sustainable future.
