Facilitation Capability

Facilitation is one of the most important skills for what’s happening around us.

And for what we need to do next.

Good facilitation is more than running a meeting or getting people around a table.

It’s the capability to design conversations and gatherings, work through complexity, draw out what matters and help people make sense of what they’re experiencing. It’s no easy feat!

I help leaders and professionals build practical and modern facilitation skills they can use with greater confidence - from everyday meetings and workshops to complex conversations and broader systemic and strategic work.

Which capabilities do you need?

Lynne Cazaly delivers facilitation learning and capability for individuals, leaders, workplaces and teams.

3. Local Government Facilitation

Local government work is complex, collaborative and often involves tensions and challenge. Strong facilitation helps people navigate the many different perspectives that can exist, make sense of complexity, involve communities and stakeholders meaningfully and move conversations towards decision and practical action… all at the right pace. Build the facilitation capability of your local council leaders and managers so they can lead better conversations, meetings and workshops. Don’t risk poor facilitation practices and the impact they can have on council reputation, community engagement or crisis and issues management.

Available via:

  • Starts with: 2 x ½ days or 1 x full day session for your team. Online or in person.

4. Learning Facilitator/Facililtating Learning

Training has evolved; it’s no longer the job of the front of the room person to deliver content. Learning works differently now and when people are actively involved in making sense, testing ideas and connecting learning to their real work, better things happen. Lynne helps people build the skills to facilitate learning - not just deliver a bit of content or a dot point slide deck. Oh the yawn! With these skills, the entire learning experience becomes more engaging, practical and transformative.

Available via:

  • Starts at: ½ day or full day session for your team. Online or in person.

5. Leader as Facilitator ᵀᴹ

This is Lynne Cazaly’s flagship program for facilitation skills in the workplace. Leaders increasingly need to gain greater connection and contribution from their teams, without being too directive. Times have changed so it’s a fine balance! This program (with a philosophy based on Lynne’s book, ‘Leader as Facilitator’) tackles the challenges your team are currently experiencing and develops their capabilities to be able to handle those challenges… and more! Better engagement, decisions, contributions and outcomes.

Available via:

  • Full day session for your team. Online or in person.

6. Modern Facilitation ᵀᴹ

The way we work, meet and make decisions is shifting. And people are changing too. But many facilitation practices have stalled, stuck in the last century! Too many clichés continue; and many common practices are increasingly coercive, dated and unsafe. This transformative program is changing the way people facilitate and how they design their own facilitation programs, processes and interventions.

(This program assumes you have some experience and knowledge of facilitation. Otherwise, start with Facilitation Skills above first, and then come to Modern Facilitationᵀᴹ.)

  • “I'm not good at drawing visuals. My mind doesn't work like that. At least, that's what I'd been telling myself for years until I worked with Lynne Cazaly! Through her online workshop, Lynne showed me simple tips and practical strategies to create simple hand-drawn visuals that boost engagement and sensemaking in my presentations. Now, not only do I have the confidence to create my own visuals but I have fun doing it! Thanks Lynne. You've opened up a whole new world. Such a brilliant workshop and the skills have been a game changer for my virtual workshop delivery.”

And all delivered with great insight, memorable examples, and your lovely cheeky humor!”

    - Carolyn Ellis

    - Jessica Manton

  • “Thanks for the last 2 days! You've given me the info I need to help with my skills. A lot to digest and think about that will give me a great toolkit. I really enjoyed the days and already have ideas for future workshops I have coming up.”

    - Keith Gordijn

  • “Lynne I really enjoyed the 'process' and structure of 2 days. Having the nine modules was like having a roadmap and helped it all come together for me. Loved the analogies & metaphors used, as well as the real life facilitation stories. I'm feeling a renewed sense of confidence and drive in taking forward my thought leadership and facilitation.”

    - Lorissa Garcia

  • “I participated in your 'Visual Facilitation' workshop held in Melbourne yesterday and it was the BEST workshop I have ever attended! Not only are you full of energy, positivity and fun, you obviously know, live and breathe your work and your vibe for visual mojo is certainly contagious! Your workshop was so well set out, energizing, fun, interesting and certainly a great learning for me as I move into a new stage of my own career. I will be following your work and hope to attend another of your workshops in the near future or sign you up as a mentor!”

    - Sue Pillans (Dr Suzie Starfish)

  • “Thank YOU for facilitating what was probably the most interactive, interesting and inspiring session I’ve attended to date! I can’t wait to share what I’ve learnt with my colleagues, and get started with delivering more interesting sessions in the future.”

    - Cailie Ford

  • “I attended your Monday one day facilitation training which was really excellent. Your training was not what I was expecting at all and found it quite practical, down to earth, witty and fun. I felt quite engaged learning all these ways of communicating and engaging with people that made a lot of sense. It felt like facilitating is something anyone could do well with the right techniques and practice.”

    – Timothy Ting
