The Facilitators’ Coaching Cohort
January 12 - March 16, 2025
Facilitation can be a lonely endeavor. Sometimes we get to work with clients who understand the value of hiring a pair of us. Or even a team. This is a great way to learn from each other. And to do better work together.
Another way to learn is to participate in workshops offered by great teachers and master facilitators. This is certainly something I try to do so I can keep getting better at what I do.
But the fact is that it is not very easy to hone our craft. It’s not even easy to learn it in the first place. There are some good training efforts. But this really is an apprenticeship model. We learn from those who have been doing it for a long time. From working along with them. We learn this craft from each other.
I am often asked to mentor or support someone who is passionate about facilitation. And until now, I have not known quite how to do it.
This is why I'm excited to launch a Coaching Cohort for Facilitators. I’ve been successfully running coaching cohorts for the last couple of years. (The testimonials page is coming very soon!) But this will be the first cohort that I offer specifically for facilitators.
This first cohort is specifically for facilitators who already have experience facilitating. It is for people who facilitate spaces that demand depth, care, navigation and the skill to hold difficult conversations.
You will be asked to bring your cases and experience to bear.
It is a twelve week program. And you will commit 20hrs of your time in direct engagement with our process. This estimate does not include the time outside direct engagement. The time you devote to practice and preparation. And time to do the inner work necessary for anyone committed to hold groups of people through meaningful transformation.
Each participant will have five one-on-one coaching sessions with me.
The cohort will meet as a group for twelve consecutive weeks.
We start the week of January 12 and we close the week of March 16.
Group sessions will be at 1PM to 2PM weekly on either Tuesdays or Wednesdays.
Participants will also have three peer coaching sessions scheduled at your convenience.
If you are seriously interested in participating, you can use this link to let us know.
Use the link whether you are interested in participating in the January cohorts or in future cohorts.
We will send more information including the cost. Those of you interested in the January cohort will be invited to schedule a one-on-one mutual assessment conversation.
Please share this offer with your favorite and most promising facilitators! It will be a good one.
