Next Stage Facilitation

Freedom and Flow in front of the room

3 Day Intensive

FOR CHAIRS

Experiential Immersion and Practice

Next Stage Facilitation develops group chairs into more naturally spontaneous, confident and insightful facilitators.

Through a balanced exploration of inner and outer dynamics, with ample experimentation, practice, and personalized feedback, participants learn how to go off script, guide the energy of any group, and handle more depth and complexity with ease.

An integrative, whole-person approach to becoming more masterful

The Next Stage addresses three key dimensions that define an excellent facilitator:

CONFIDENCE & EASE

To build our confidence and feel more ease, we have to look inside. Increasing self-knowledge and uncovering our blind spots enables us to grow.

SENSING & RESPONDING

The ability to sense and respond to the group in real time comes from a facilitator’s sensitivity, openness, and attention. When we are aware of the many small, invisible and subtle sources of information in the room, we can adapt and respond in the moment.

FACILITATOR MOVES

Having a rich repertoire of tools, activities and interventions happens through exposure to facilitative mastery, through practice, and through experimentation. When we are engaged in repeated practice and feedback cycles with others, we just get better—period.

Why should Vistage Chairs not miss this training?

Mark Taylor, Master Vistage Chair:

Rebecca was my retreat speaker on Agility in Leadership. As I watched her facilitate, I was in awe. I told her, “I want to learn to do that!”. I knew she had an online course, but I thought how wonderful it would be to do this with other Vistage Chairs in an exclusive training. I chair eight NYC groups; some of my CEOs are high-energy, alpha, and in-your-face when they don’t like something or disagree. I was impressed when I witnessed how Rebecca gracefully and yet firmly handled these situations. After 13 years of chairing, sometimes I struggle to keep things fresh and dynamic. I’ve worked on my coaching skills by completing five coaching certifications, yet I haven’t trained in-depth in facilitation and group dynamics. Chairing our group meetings is the BIG day for our members and a critical skill for our practice. I want a rich repertoire of tools, activities, and interventions. More than that, I want to become aware of my blind spots to be the best chair possible. I love being a Vistage Chair and the difference we make in our members’ lives. I know that I can learn to become a better chair through facilitative mastery.

Allan Fried, Vistage Chair

Being around the Ten Direction Facilitators always inspires me to up my game.

These facilitators are masterful in creating experiences that flow.  And while I tend to think that a successful meeting comes through my effort, I’ve learned that great engagement and collaboration is actually dependent on my mindfulness and my ability to create space for others.

Ten Directions has a unique approach that offers both philosophy as well as tactics that bring a fresh approach to facilitation. If you are looking to add creativity, depth and expand your impact in  your meetings – in-person or virtual – you should learn with Rebecca and her team.
