Webinar
Is Vertical Facilitation
Next For You?
with Michael Hamman and Lyssa Adkins
Tuesday, July 23 2024 9-10am US ET / 3-5pm CET
Seasoned agile leaders, coaches, and consultants who work with groups—as course leaders or group coaching facilitators—are often faced with moments of significant transformative potential. In those moments, we may exercise any number of different techniques, drawn from professional coaching, systems coaching, and/or facilitation.
And yet, many of us find ourselves not quite able to meet the transformative potential presented to us.
Vertical Facilitation is a manner of leaderfully interacting with others in ways that deliberately catalyze transformative—or what we call ‘vertical’--learning. In this session Michael and Lyssa will reveal key aspects of vertical facilitation: what it is, how it works, and why it is so important in today’s world.
What we’ll cover in the webinar:
What is ‘Vertical Learning’ and why would we say that it is perhaps THE critical competency for today’s complex and ever-changing world.
Sensemaking—the core medium by which work gets done in organizations. Vertical Learning is about raising the level of Sensemaking Intelligence
The Activity of Vertical Facilitation: Breaking down the moment-by-moment dance of vertical facilitation: What are we paying attention to? What is the nature of our stance as a facilitator?
The 4 Meta-Design Elements that are key to bringing about moments of transformative learning.
Look for a provocative and inspiring session!
The session is free of charge. Recording is made available to all who register.
When: Tuesday, July 23, 2024 9-10AM US ET / 15:00 - 16:00 CET
