What is Unique About This?
A process framework that is creative and easy to use.
Learn the framework and apply it to a real life example so you understand
its application to facilitation, consulting, training, and curriculum design.
The earth element – Learn how to create stability, depth and cohesion in your design factoring it in early and at critical stages of any event.
The water element – Experience the importance of flow and transparency. What tools, tips and processes do you use to keep the water element flowing throughout?
The fire element – How do you give a group significant spark when it is lagging? How can we create warmth and coziness of a fire? What do you say or do when fire energy gets out of control?
The air element – How do you let freshness of air circulate? How do you “cool” a group or clear out old redundant thinking as needed? What specific tools have the air affect?
The space element – How do you set up physical space according to the theme or content of the event? How do you ensure you have enough pauses for reflection? What questions do you use to ensure there is just enough space?
What does a good process design look like when all 5 elements are integrated, balanced and paced for maximum impact?
