One of the key skills of CF is to be transparent about the choices we make as the process is unfolding. This builds trust as we model collaboration by involving people in when and how to transition from one step to the next. However, there are potential pitfalls when revealing what lives in us in any particular moment. In this session, we'll practice how to express transparently as well as explore when to be transparent or not.
In this call, we’ll engage with participants’ own CF challenges, as well as explore specific issues and questions surrounding Phase 2’s committee formation and proposal creation.
People who encounter specific challenges or have questions about how to navigate certain situations whilst facilitating a CF process will have a chance to explore those with me and the group. If we have time, we'll also practice how to discern what is alive in us when we facilitate and what and how to share it with the group to reach our purpose.
Facilitation is an art and requires reading the room very quickly and in detail. This is especially true when it comes to dissent, because often people feel either vulnerable or agitated while sharing a different perspective or concerns. In this session we will practice what it would be like to follow your intuition and how to follow it while facilitating. Please bring your own situation(s) so we can work with real life examples.
Unless we attend to power differences, we are likely to miss the needs, perspectives, ideas, and concerns of the people with less power. Finding ways of inviting and integrating them leads to wiser and more robust solutions.

Get ready to role play! We'll plan to play a simple game to practice distilling the Noncontroversial Essence of someone's position. I'll bring a low-stakes scenario so we can practice this essential Convergent Facilitation skill in a relaxed and supportive setting.

Formulating threshold questions is one of most playful parts of CF as we learn to discern what level of stretch we can create to gather the exact amount and quality of information to move the decision making process.

Verene will offer coaching on Thresholds. The capacity to both integrate dissent and discern willingness is one of the key skills that differentiates CF from other methods of collaborative decision making. It includes asking carefully crafted show-of-hands questions, according to a low to high threshold spectrum. In this session, we will practice when to lean towards a low, medium, or high threshold, as well as how to craft the questions themselves.
We will look at how to navigate transitions when we choose to intervene to shift the direction. This will include role playing different scenarios with coaching.
