FacilitatorU - “groups are tough to lead and facilitate”

Are you getting the results you want from your groups?

Getting humans to work together effectively continues to be one of our greatest challenges.

"Meetings begin with the same risk of injury as a motor vehicle containing a steering wheel at each passenger seat." --George Kieffer--

By their very nature, groups are tough to lead and facilitate. Groups are entirely different entities than the sum of the individuals involved. Getting the results you want takes far more than simply bringing a bunch of smart people together. Thinking otherwise contributes to harsh judgments upon ourselves and others, leading to apathy, inaction, and the continual self-fulfilling prophecy of groups that just don't work.

But there are ways to deal with each and every situation you encounter. Once you understand group dynamics and leadership, you'll transform your problems with groups into opportunities and enjoy the satisfaction of achieving greater results that comes with being part of a high functioning team.

Christian E. Mickelsen

From article: Surprising Six-Figure Jobs, by Tom Van Riper, Forbes.com 08.03.06

Another business spawned by coaching, naturally, is coaching the coaches. Christian Mickelsen, who started as a small business coach in San Diego seven years ago, now helps wannabe coaches get their businesses started through his Web site, CoachingBusinessRocketLauncher.

He says the key to six-figure success in coaching is finding a specialty and sticking with it. "Be a business or life coach but not both. You need to realize why people hire coaches; it's not about having some super-awesome life, but because they have a specific problem they want to solve."

Creativity Workshop Training

Creativity Workshop Training - facilitated by Suzanne Falter-Barns, who is also author of How to Build Your Platform as a Self Help Expert

Learn Trade Secrets of Leading Creativity Workshops – and Change Your Own Life in the Process ...

Do you wonder how to get started leading your own workshops?

Do you want to create and lead workshops and retreats of your own that use your own unique gifts BUT you don't want to start from scratch?

Do you coach artists and entrepreneurs, but need creativity coaching on how the process really works?

In January, 2002, the late coaching guru Thomas Leonard wrote "The trend is definitely toward creativity/self expression. I believe there is a niche for a coach who can help clients make money from their creativity."

In Today's Coach, Leonard wrote: "This is why clients are coming to coaches - to enter the age of inspiration and for help in earning their livelihoods via something they are inspired to do."

That's precisely what this workshop does - it provides the tools to move others towards full, free, unencumbered self-expression.
