About the Seminar
The Learning Objectives: As a participant in this Training-of-Facilitators (ToF) seminar, you will increase your ability to do the following:
- Adapt Personal Leadership to your individualized professional situations.
- Design activities that are appropriate to your specific clients or industr
y to illustrate the two principles and six practices.
- Articulate the background and history of Personal Leadership.
- Place Personal Leadership within contexts, including: leadership development, positive psychology, change theory, whole-person self-development, conflict transformation, and intercultural communication.
- Explain Personal Leadership’s guiding tenets and answer frequently asked questions.
- Use personal stories/examples to illustrate the principles and practices of Personal Leadership and the Critical Moment Dialogue.
- Assess yourself against the ToF Developmental Benchmarks and create a personalized plan for on-going development as a Facilitator of PL
.
Together we will augment and amend these goals in response to the learning agendas you and the other participants bring to the seminar. The final design of this program will be tailored to the experience level and developmental need of those who register.
Who Should Attend: This program is specifically for first-time ToFers and Associate Facilitators still in training. As this is designed with attention to ToF basics, it will not generally be open to participation by Senior Facilitators (unless by special request, because of a developmental benchmark interest).
The Schedule: The Training-of-Facilitators Seminar is comprised of two simultaneous and interactive components: 1) a PL Foundations seminar, in which you will be a full participant, and 2) ToF-specific sessions held before, during, and after the Foundations seminar. The ToF sessions will:
- bring your attention specifically to the facilitation process, refining your facilitation practice,
focusing on capacity and knowledge development, and addressing individualized applications of Personal Leadership, - involve independent design work, small group collaboration, and delivery experimentations,
- deepen your own personal PL practice and
- provide an opportunity for small group coaching with the seminar leaders.
Seminar Leaders: ToF sessions will be designed and facilitated by Barbara F. Schaetti, Ph.D., and Gordon Watanabe, Ed.D. The Foundations seminar will be designed and facilitated by Gordon Watanabe, Ed.D..
We hope you will join us for a uniquely powerful and joyous experience.
