Facilitator Training

Karen Goodfellow RPC is a professional facilitator and has delivered Facilitator Training courses for almost 15 years. She teaches Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced Facilitation Skills.


Whether it is people, products, processes or profit, leaders facilitate all four at the same time. When you mention the word 'meeting' it is often met with groans, eye ball rolling, or considered a swear word.


Hard Facts about Meetings:

50% of meeting time is wasted!

This was based on a White Paper in the US (Canadian results would be similar).

What is this costing your business? Meetings:


• are longer

• less efficient

• produce fewer results

• are required more often in order to accomplish the objectives

• result in poor execution of action plans.


What is is costing your business?

What is it costing your team?

What is it costing you (in terms of credibility and productivity)?

A better question is: how do I turn mediocre meetings around?
