FACILITATOR TRAINING

IN-PERSON FACILITATED PROGRAMME

OVERVIEW

The Arbinger facilitator training (train-the-trainer) programme is an intensive programme that explores the breadth and depth of Arbinger’s groundbreaking work. It equips participants with a deep understanding of Arbinger’s material, preparing them to deliver this material within their organisation.

Arbinger’s training has been designed to pierce the veil of denial and resistance within organisations. With the facilitator training programme, participants will be equipped with the tools and frameworks necessary to carry out widespread application of Arbinger principles. Upon successful completion of this three-day course, facilitators are certified to utilise the Arbinger training and implementation material in their employing organisation only.

PROGRAMME FORMAT

This three-day course will prepare participants to facilitate this material within their own organisations, with a focus on delivering all of the principles as elements of a complete framework in a logically coherent manner.

An Arbinger-certified facilitator will help participants learn to facilitate each of the individual sections of Arbinger’s Developing and Implementing an Outward Mindset two-day programme by going through conceptual overviews of the sections, demonstrating how to facilitate, discussing key points and issues, and working through participant reviews and practices. To solidly embed the materials, participants spend significant time both practicing delivery themselves and coaching a partner.

RESULTS AND OUTCOMES

Facilitator training helps participants learn:

• How to effectively facilitate Arbinger’s core material and implementation tools
• How to assist leaders with operationalising Arbinger’s core concepts to impact organisational objectives and challenges
• How to ensure that as facilitators, they can invite an outward mindset space for participants
• How to deliver stories that compellingly illustrate Arbinger material
