Group Facilitation
Leverage a proven way to build your culture and improve performance
Without team cohesion, your culture suffers
Do you recognise any of these issues?
Personal agendas
Departmental differences
Uncooperative behaviour
Stale ideas and dated solutions
Poor performance
Resistance to change
A lack of progress
Disengaged staff
Skills shortages
Low productivity
A lack of team cohesion affects your culture. And your culture affects everything, including your performance and the bottom line.
As an experienced group facilitator, I can help you nurture a more collaborative culture. From senior leadership meetings to company-wide large group events, I can help bring your people together for meaningful experiences that lead to positive change.
How to unlock a more collaborative spirit
Providing facilitated events and meetings will unlock more collaboration in your organisation with these keys:
Clarifying vision
Your meetings and events provide an opportunity to revisit the compelling cause that underpins the purpose of your organisation.
Inspiring change
The ideas that flow from your meetings help to ensure your vision is understood and inspires change in the right direction.
Building trust
When participants are treated with dignity and respect at your meetings, you'll build trust and develop team relationships.
Identifying key actions
Skilful facilitation nurtures respectful discussion and debate so that critical actions can be determined together with wider ownership.
Engaging staff
Through the positive interactions your staff can make a contribution and feel a part of the mission—helping them find meaning and purpose through their activities at work.
Valuing team members
Inviting participation in your meetings makes your team members feel recognised and valued—especially when you recognise them for what they do.
Becoming growth-minded
You'll create a culture of learning as your teams engage in relevant leadership material, absorbing key messages and takeaways for their roles.

Facilitation can work in two ways
Group Event Facilitation
From a few delegates to several hundred attendees, I will help your participants engage with the material, enjoy positive interactions and determine key takeaways to implement.
This approach nurtures a growth-minded culture within your organisation and develops team relationships.
Use this option for: conferences and training events.
Leadership Meeting Facilitation
I can help you plan more effectively as a team and manage projects that deliver results.
This approach empowers leadership decision-making at senior levels and builds accountability for long-term growth.
Use this option for: strategic planning, project management, developing business plans.

Yes, and here’s why:
Every day I see the difference it makes in organisations when they put a sustainable leadership strategy in place so that they can make the difference they set out to achieve. It breaks my heart when I see amazing charities and NFPs failing to make the impact they deserve purely because part of their leadership strategy isn't quite right.
If I could afford to, I'd work for free full-time, helping NFPs make the world a better place. Unfortunately, I cannot do that (yet!), but I give what I can.
I have pledged to offer 90-minute Executive Coaching (or Consulting) Sessions free to all not-for-profit organisations via the Make Good Grow platform (https://makegoodgrow.com/businesses/roger-fairhead/). To take advantage of this offer, complete the form, and I'll follow up with you promptly.
