The best way to learn Dynamic Facilitation is through
a
DYNAMIC FACILITATION
SEMINAR
Dynamic
Facilitation releases the natural creativity of people in
the face of difficult issues.
They rise to the challenge, pull together, and create
practical, unanimous solutions.
Dynamic
Facilitation evokes a creative, collaborative quality of
thinking called “choice-creating,” where people solve
impossible-seeming issues. Choice-creating is like what
often happens naturally in a crisis, where everyone puts
aside their differences and works together to achieve
the impossible. Dynamic
Facilitation reliably evokes this authentic, empowering
quality of thinking. It can be used with individuals,
groups, organizations and very large systems of
people.
Dynamic
Facilitation opens new doors of possibility
in:
- LEADERSHIP ... What’s the #1 Leadership competency for the future? ... Being able to help people face the most important issues creatively and collaboratively, where they reach unanimous solutions quickly, and where the process builds trust and the spirit of community.
- SOLVING IMPOSSIBLE ISSUES ... It’s natural to avoid facing impossible-seeming issues and say, “we can’t do anything about that.” But with Dynamic Facilitation we have the ability to shift our thinking to choice-creating, and face these issues in a way that yields empowering shifts and breakthroughs.
- BUILDING TEAM, COMMUNITY, and THE SPIRIT OF “WE” ... When people face challenges in a way that uses group diversity to create shifts and breakthroughs, they come together as one whole.
- EMPOWERING PEOPLE ... When people face tough issues creatively together and experience shifts and breakthroughs they feel empowered. This is a natural result of Dynamic Facilitation that can be used to help involve employees or citizens, heal trauma, or spark bottom-up systems change.
- RESOLVING CONFLICTS ... In a radio interview, Tom Atlee, author of The Tao of Democracy” says, The most powerful conflict transformation process I know is called Dynamic Facilitation. With Dynamic Facilitation you help conflicted parties transform their perspective ... where they see their conflict as an impossible-seeming issue that they are working together to solve. As they progress shifts and breakthroughs occur.
- TRANSFORMING ORGANIZATIONS ... Dynamic Facilitation provides a new set of tools for generating bottom-up shared vision and the spirit of “We”. See the article “The Circle Organization: Structuring for Collective Wisdom.”
- EVOKING WISE DEMOCRACY ... Choice-creating should be the core quality of thinking for a democracy, where the people are facing difficult issues respectfully and creatively and building thoughtful, near-unanimous perspectives. New social innovations based in Dynamic Facilitation like the Wisdom Council Process and the Creative Insight Council, can help large systems of people think together in this way. The nonprofit organization: Center for Wise Democracy has many resources which describe how this new approach works and is being implemented.
- PERSONAL EFFECTIVENESS ... Use the perspective of Dynamic Facilitation to be more empowered and facilitative of others in your life. Many people who come to the seminars, for instance, just use DF on personal issues, as a participant in meetings, and with family issues.
- Seminars ... Especially if you are a consultant, manager, facilitator, mediator, or therapist seeking to build your capabilities for change, come to a seminar. Or convene a seminar in your area or for your network.
- Facilitation ... If you have an issue that needs resolution in a way that builds trust, ask us to dynamically facilitate.
- Consulting ... If you want to build a “Circle System”—a culture of participation, innovation, collaboration, and accountability— ask us to work with you.
- Presentations and keynotes ... If you seek to inspire people to possibilities in a short session, ask us to hold a short workshop or presentation.
