Facilitation Skills: Presentations, Meetings, and Town Hall Forums

Length: 2 days
Target Audience: All employees, sworn and non-sworn

We all know the difference between meetings and presentations that are engaging and effective, and those that drone on, get off topic, or disintegrate into conflict. The former is refreshing and productive—and the latter can be excruciating. But how do you make sure that the meetings or presentations you facilitate are always of the first variety? The MTS Facilitation and Presentation Skills Development course is a total immersion workshop designed to develop attendees’ ability to facilitate effective group discussions regardless of their format. The intention is to build a facilitator who can accomplish participant engagement and overall presentation/meeting effectiveness. Attendees will learn and apply skills to facilitate meetings and presentations and to provide powerful and positively memorable sessions.

  • Compose an effective agenda, presentation opening, and closing that call others to action
  • Recognize what contributes to a successful presentation or meeting
