Facilitating Study Circles
A worshop for facilitators
Study Circles were developed in 1870 at Chautauqua Assembly in New York to provide higher education opportunities to people who didn't have access to college.
Today, Study Circles are widely used as a technique for small groups to examine an issue from many perspectives and to solve related problems. The process is aided by an impartial facilitator who creates a safe environment, manages expectations, models desired behaviors and keeps the discussion "on purpose.
This workshop trains those facilitators.
This workshop is designed to provide managers with the information and hands-on skills training they need ─ in only three to five hours of total training time ─ to facilitate Study Circles successfully.
The workshop uses coaching and training techniques that give participants an opportunity to interact with the information presented in ways that help drive it home. Subjects are covered, through presentations, games, competitions and other exercises.

"David and I were senior consultants at HRN, a public affairs agency that helped define corporate social responsibility long before most knew what that meant. David was a mentor, a friend and a partner on many a project. He's was the first true professional public relations expert I encountered and had the good fortune to learn from. Fifteen years and hundreds of PR friends, clients and colleagues hence, he still stands out as one of the best." Mark Nowlan is Marketing and Communications Leader at The Center for Wooden Boats
