Facilitation Training

Leading Conversations

Leadership Metro Richmond and the Virginia Center for Inclusive Communities present a three-part training on best practices in facilitation. In these divisive times, tough issues are emerging in our communities, in the workplace, and at home. Open dialogue is critical but it also requires proper facilitation. This training will strengthen the Richmond region by equipping our community leaders with the tools they need to lead conversations in a manner that is inclusive, informative, and effective. This program not only offers practical tips but also gives participants the opportunity to put their skills into practice.

"Leading Conversations: Best Practices in Facilitation is an excellent course for novice and experienced facilitators and trainers.

"As a LMR graduate, I wholeheartedly found all components of the Leading Conversations: Best Practices in Facilitation training to be a pinnacle opportunity. The best tip was that facilitation is not cookie cutter and facilitation style should always be adjusted to meet the needs of each respective group. You create the right environment by clearly articulating expectations and expected outcomes, keeping your group energized and being open to feedback."
