The Key Ingredients of Successful Facilitation: Principles, Purpose, and People

How do skilled facilitators prepare for a workshop? And what are the characteristics of a “great” workshop?

In this webinar, pro facilitator Associate Creative Director Marvin Gaviola shared how to add value to your meetings and workshops using the key ingredients of effective facilitation: Principles, People, and Purpose. 

He dipped into agenda design and reviewed XPLANE’s ‘secret sauce’—visual thinking, co-creation, and people-centered design—elements that’ll help you achieve meeting objectives, create engaging session experiences for participants, and lead an impactful team.

During this webinar, attendees learned:

  • How to get better outcomes from your meetings and workshops
  • Tips to bolster engagement and get the best from your team 
  • Three guiding principles for designing a next-level workshop experience: Visual Thinking, Co-Creation, and People-Centered Design
