This will focus on how you can develop your skills such as increased self-awareness, use of open questions, improved active listening, with the ability to practice these in group discussions. The ability to read the room and deal with dominant or challenging participants will also be explored

• How to plan and facilitate improvement workshops

This will outline the practical steps required for planning and facilitating an improvement workshop, as well as post-workshop good practice. This includes the design of workshop activities to achieve the necessary outcome of the workshop, and to encourage positive participation
