As facilitators we know the demands of always being ‘on’ in front of a group. We also know that our ability to manage our own energy, while also tuning into the needs of group, allows us to provide the best experience for our participants.
With more than 1400 days of in-class and online facilitation experience spanning more than 25 years, Drew Bird, author of The Leader’s Guide to Emotional Intelligence, and an EQ Master Trainer, will share his experience of how emotional intelligence can make you a better facilitator both inside and outside of the room.
Using real-world examples as a basis, Drew will explore key areas of facilitation that both new and experienced practitioners alike can apply to their practice right away.
