Mastering Facilitation Series - Individual Master Class: Webinar (12/16/14) 

Mastering Facilitation Series

NEFLIN is offering three online, highly interactive classes designed to improve your skills when leading online meetings, webinars, and events. These classes are for those with experience using online meeting technology, but wanting to create a meeting experience where attendees are actively engaged and learning is the focus. The three classes may be taken individually as stand-alone classes, or as a series. One “master” session is also provided for interested attendees to practice their skills and receive individualized coaching from the instructor.

Individual Master Class

This additional one-hour “master class” session will offer up to four learners an opportunity to practice the skills they have developed through their participation in the formal four-part series. Each participant will submit a small PowerPoint deck (five to ten slides) no later than 24 hours before the day of the master class and will have up to 10 minutes to facilitate a practice meeting or lead a 10-minute webinar on a topic of their choice during the formal master class; the slide decks can be materials previously used in face-to-face settings or newly-created decks incorporating what has been discussed during the formal weekly webinar sessions. Constructive feedback will be offered by the session facilitator, with participation from other learners as time allows.
