"Gary is an excellent instructor and explains things very clearly.  He has done a superb job of thinking through how to present material that will help people absorb & apply it."

Sarah, Principal Consultant & Facilitator (FoCuSeD™ Facilitator Academy Alumni)

 


Gary uses his Facilitative skills as a Facilitator, as a leader, as a trainer, as a member of a group, and always working with others.  They are skills that work at the personal, organizational, and societal level.

With the “how to” of FoCuSeD™, you learn:

 

  • “How to” move people to consensus – You learn to get everyone to participate (diverge), discuss differences (struggle), and move to consensus (converge).  It ensures that everyone is included and that all ideas are heard so that groups reach consensus.

  • “How to” get others to come together and accomplish something – You learn to develop processes that enable people to accomplish something.  Understanding how to develop processes gives you direction and is useful to follow in business and in life.
  • “How to” engage people so that everyone gets involved – You learn how to include everyone.  Better ideas come when everyone is involved.  Getting everyone involved increases the quality of the discussion and the quality of solutions.

  • “How to” understand and work with a diverse group of people – You learn to accept others and actively listen to what they have to say – and not judge.  You listen to intent and you don’t look at situations as having only one solution.
  • “How to” not be in charge – You learn the value and wisdom of others.  The whole is greater than the sum of the parts.
  • “How to” understand the IAF Core Facilitator Competencies - You learn what you need to do to achieve them.  Demonstrating the competencies is required to become an IAF Certified Professional Facilitator (CPF).
  • “How to” get up in front of people and speak with confidence – This is the number one fear.  You never overcome fear – you learn how to manage it.
With FoCuSeD™, we teach you not only the “how to”; we teach you to understand the “why” so that you can adapt it to any situation in business and in life.  With FoCuSeD™, we give you the necessary tools to effectively work with groups in any capacity and be successful.
