Join Erin Fischer and Dr. Michael McRee from the Leadership and Training Studio and The Whitespace Group for a live, two-day, hands-on session in Indianapolis, IN.

Why should we go? When we think about facilitation, we know the right facilitator can make all the difference. You will know this to be true if you remember the last bad facilitator you had. So, we have created content to help you deliver the best for your audience. First, as your guides, we have scoured through Mike's Ph.D. research and are sharing the top 12 things participants need from facilitators and the results are fascinating! Join us if you want to practice your facilitative skills, increase your audience’s score of your work, learn how to flex your style to meet your audience, figure out how to make your work more interactive using the 70/30 rule, practice your pace and pitch, and learn where facilitators can often go wrong. Finally, we will you how to read your audience when they make faces that stress you out.
