Face to Face Workshop
NEW BHBIA Facilitation Skills
Hamilton House, Mabledon Place, London WC1H 9BD
Wednesday 05 June 2024, 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM
You’ve uncovered a valuable set of insights and you’ve crafted a brilliant de-brief story that will capture the hearts and minds of your audience.
Knowing how to control the rabble in the room and facilitate a successful delivery can be the cherry on top of a project.
Purpose
This interactive workshop is part of the BHBIA’s new Business Skills series and is designed to equip you with tools and skills for facilitating successful meetings. This could be initial project briefing discussions, mid-project progress reviews, idea generation workshops or insights delivery sessions – any of which involve managing groups of different people with different needs and working styles. The workshop covers a range of topics from structuring your time and activities, managing difficult situations and participants, through to summarising and capturing outputs.
What can you expect?
Attendees to this highly interactive workshop can expect to leave with the following outcomes:
- Know how to flex your facilitation style to work effectively and engage with all types of stakeholders
- Experience and apply the essential phases of facilitation and the skills required for each stage
- Improve your confidence, impact, and energy
- Solve common facilitation challenges
- Know how to turn a ‘dry’ session into an interactive engaging session
- Sharpen existing skills, explore new techniques, and commit to further development
Who should attend?
This event is aimed at anyone who facilitates discussions in group settings, or who wants to develop these skills as part of their role. It is suitable for those with less experience as a base, or more experienced facilitators looking to expand their toolkit or brush up on their skills. It may also be suitable for those who want to take tools and tips back to their working teams and colleagues. Pharma members who regularly deal with internal cross-functional teams may find this workshop useful, while agency members who are managing project scoping and results de-brief meetings with their stakeholder teams may also benefit from attending.
