Becoming a Learning Facilitator Teleclass

Are you ready to learn the specific skills and tools needed to catapult your participants to a higher level of engaged and passionate learning? 

Join us for this 5-day, experiential TeleClass with FacilitatorU.com founder Steve Davis

Week of May 4th-8th, one hour/day, 10am Pacific


o Are you stumped when it comes to engaging the people in your trainings?

o Are you wondering why your participants don't want to get involved?

o Are you tired of trying to teach those who don't want to learn?

If you answered 'yes' to one or more of these questions, you're not alone! Delivering your message in a way that truly engages participants and leads to optimal learning is one of the biggest challenges faced by group facilitators.

The key is to shift from being a 'teacher'  to a 'co-creator', empowering the group to learn in ways you could not have planned.. Adults don't want to be 'taught' anymore. They got enough of that in school. 

Become a Learning Facilitator is a 5-day TeleClass series designed to help you make the leap from conventional teaching to the skills, attitudes, and practices necessary to create and facilitate a learning environment.

Led by Steve Davis, founder of FacilitatorU.com, this course is for facilitators, trainers, teachers, and coaches who want to deliver experiential training for groups in a way that's fun, engaging, and interactive, and you'll take it from the comfort of your own home or office.

I became inspired and awakened to a new possibility. It's a possibility that instead of being a teacher, I discovered that I am very passionate about facilitating learning. This is what I am fundamentally all about, and I was turned on by the conversation, the facilitation, the tools and the community of learners that were present.
--Annie Hammond, Life Coach

By the end of this TeleClass series, you will have:

- Enhanced your love of teaching and training.
- Learned new ways to get your participants excited about learning again.
- Learned to listen for, encourage, and nurture what's important to participants.
- Learned to package your material in a way that better relates to your participants.
- Learned to connect with the group in a way that's rewarding for you both.
- Become a better listener and communicator.
- Released the burden of trying to make learning happen.
- Collaborated and learned from a community of your peers, who are all passionate about empowering groups.

How the 5-Day Format/Training works...

1. You dial into your class every day for 5 days (Mon-Fri) for a 60-minute focused training segment using a telephone conferencing bridge.
2. You work through a 50-page learning guide during the course (about an hour a day of study and field work) which you complete by Friday, or sooner if you wish.
3. You will have the opportunity to discuss issues on the subject matter with the instructor and your classmates via an online listserve during the course.
4. During the week, you may access the instructor via email for help or situational questions.

This teleclass not only delivered facilitation techniques and information, it also aroused in me a new awareness of why I want to teach, train, mentor, and facilitate. Steve taught us how to sow seeds in people's hearts that can grow and sustain resourcefully and powerfully. The class has added a value to my coaching and my life. Thank you! --Bonnie Chan, Business Coach
