Facilitation Skills for Scientists, Planners and Resource Managers

The San Francisco Bay and Elkhorn Slough NERR Coastal Training Programs are happy to announce this long awaited training.

This training is intended to be a practical approach to improving group meetings. It is oriented specifically to the needs of scientists, planners and resource managers. Core facilitation skills are practiced and the class will be tailored to the students’ development needs. Participants will be asked to complete a pre-workshop skills profile. Students are presented with a wide array of tools and opportunities to practice new facilitation skills.

Facilitation skills are used by scientists, planners and resource managers to form productive teams, plan programs and projects, and to implement controversial projects and programs. Facilitators help groups to communicate productively, honoring diverse points of view and respectfully creating options that provide the richest suite of benefits for all.
