Facilitation

The Optimal You supports individual and team development by providing engaging and interactive facilitation services in many areas essential for personal and organizational success. There are numerous benefits to working with a professional facilitator, including:

  • allowing participants to fully engage in discussions without worrying about keeping time or staying on track
  • creating a safe environment for everyone to participate in idea generation and share their points of view
  • having a neutral, objective party to manage tension filled or conflict situations
  • maintaining focus and guiding a decision making process

Whether it’s designing customized initiatives to meet your needs, or facilitating your existing workshops and programs, we can help you achieve your objectives. Our experience ranges from facilitating ½ day workshops and week long initiatives to delivering programs spanning 4-6 months in duration.

A variety of tools and assessments, such as the Myers-Briggs® Type Indicator (MBTI®) and the  Emotional Intelligence EQ-i 2.0 and/or EQ-i 360, may be included depending on your needs.
