LIVE | June 27th, 2025 | Facilitation School | Indy

Join Erin Fischer and Dr. Michael McRee from the Leadership and Training Studio and The Whitespace Group for an in-person session in Indy. (You might know Erin who has hosted Program Design School for 10 years and has graduated nearly a thousand higher education professionals through that experience.)

Why should you (and your team) go? When we think about facilitation, we know the right facilitator can make all the difference. You 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 evaluations score on 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 teach you how to read your audience when they make a face that stresses you out.

Who should attend

• Want to get better and improve your facilitation.
• Struggle with confidence in front of a group.
• Have a hard time getting folks to participate.
• Overthink your guide and your PowerPoint but always talk too much.
• Can’t manage your time – you have too much time left over to fill or you feel like you can’t fit everything in – either way your participants get cheated.
• Struggle with silence in your programs.
• Don’t know how to get to your main point or go on too many tangents.
• Worry about your evaluation scores, but don’t change your style to meet your audience.
• Don’t know how to make your work memorable or sticky.
