Flying Facilitators
We have designed a series of interactive talks and truncated seminars for the purpose of animating internal meetings at your offices. The running theme in them all is to make those assembled THINK, look at the world from a different angle and challenge their current perceptions.
The seminars can be broken down into four or five sections of 15 minutes each to insert into your day-long meeting, or they can be delivered as a two or three hour session.
Through a series of entertaining exercises, the value and techniques of active listening and clear questioning are demonstrated.
