Facilitation Development Programme – Module 4 Core toolkit for leading groups

This module takes you through some of the core toolkit of leading and facilitating others – deep listening, asking questions that make a difference …

It is made up of a number of videos, reading materials and exercises.

What to expect?

 

This is the fourth module within your Facilitation Programme.  It should take you around 2 weeks to complete.

This is a different type of module – it is more of a toolkit, than it is a progressive and deep conceptual challenge.  Feel free to move through it faster – but come back to it and ‘top up’ from time to time.  The handouts (particularly the Facilitator’s Handbook) are not necessarily meant to be read front to back – but to be a lasting resource for you to dip into as you need them.

This programme offers

Work through it in your own way - binge or nibble?

Some people like to 'binge learn', meaning that they allocate a whole day, and sink into a thorough immersion in a whole module.  Others prefer to work through a single lesson at a time, with gaps to let one idea sink in before going to another.  Whatever your preference is, you are advised to book time in your diary, to ensure it happens regularly and you can keep up with the programme.

Different types of media to suit all needs

Each lesson will mix videos to watch, with material to read.

Plus there are downloadable handouts, worksheets, templates and checklists to print and take away, and keep for future reference.

Frequently asked questions

What do I do if I get stuck?

Always reach out to us - don't sit and suffer!  You can simply email us at academy@lacertaconsulting.co.uk.  Immediately Caryn will receive your email.

Alternatively, if you are still logged in and able to use the site, if you go to your Dashboard, you will see you can raise a message to us there or you can hit the button below.

How long can I access a module or individual lessons?

Your modules will be accessible to you for 1 year from the time you start them.

However in each lesson there are also PDFs, tools, products and exercises, that we think you will want to keep - you can download them, or print them.

What if I fall behind and out of step with others?

All significant learning commitments require some dedication.  This means making conscious choices, and carving out the time to acquire, experiment with, and reflect on what you are exploring.  Sometimes, this is going to clash with other priorities and occasionally it might feel a little overwhelming - even for the most dedicated learner.  If you know that a busy period is coming up, plan for catch-up time in the weeks that follow.

If you have concerns about whether you will be able to do this, and if you fall behind at any time, just reach out to us and we will try to help.

Now you need to get logged in - and that will load your Dashboard and give you access to this course.
