<h2>The Art of Delegation and High-Impact Feedback</h2>

But when done well, they can generate value for everyone and benefit future endeavors.</p>
<p>In this course, you will learn to think more deeply about the importance of delegating and discover how to give better feedback. You will have opportunities to apply best practices and methodologies that you can use in the real world, ultimately paying off for you and for others.</p><h3>What you Will Learn</h3>

<h2>Facilitating Effective Meetings: In-House Training</h2>
 <p>Billions of dollars and exorbitant amounts of time are wasted annually across the globe because of organizations' meeting practices. This contributes to serious performance problems for both organizations and employees, and it has a serious impact on culture and morale. But despite the costs and consequences, every-day people in any role have the ability to change that. They can reduce cost, improve productivity, and enhance their workplace cultures by improving their meeting facilitation skills. And that is because facilitation skills start in the planning stage, not in the live meeting stage.</p>
 <p>In this course, participants will learn that their responsibility as a facilitator is to be a steward of time, money, relationships, and performance. To do that, they will learn to estimate costs of meetings and practice a variety of strategic thinking and analysis tasks to effectively plan results-aligned meetings. They will also apply several techniques and strategies to proactively prevent and deal with conflict in meetings, as well as give objective, constructive feedback to others in order to create behavior change during meetings.</p>
 <p>Participants must bring laptops with them and have internet access during the course (both virtual classroom and traditional classroom). The laptops are needed for specific activities.</p>
 <p>Also note that this course pairs well with IIL's Conflict Resolution Skills and Decision Making and Problem Solving courses, which go much deeper into related skills and tools that support effective meeting facilitation.</p><h3>What you will Learn</h3>
 <p>At the end of this program, you will be able to:</p>
 <ul>
 <li>Estimate the financial and time costs of attendance for real-world meetings</li>
 <li>Use a performance formula to define the purpose of meetings</li>
 <li>Describe the responsibilities and qualities of an effective facilitator</li>
 <li>Analyze situations to determine when a meeting is necessary</li>
 <li>Articulate performance-driven meeting goals and results</li>
 <li>Align meeting goals and results</li>
 <li>Strategize to invite, involve, and exclude appropriate attendees</li>
 <li>Explain research-based best practices for meeting decisions and agenda development</li>
 <li>Create an effective agenda for a results-driven meeting</li>
 <li>Apply proactive tools and strategies for relationship-building dealing with meeting conflict</li>
 <li>Give constructive behavioral feedback using the Situation-Behavior-Impact® technique</li>

This diversity of experience and thought is a good thing, but on occasion it can also lead to misunderstanding and conflict between individuals which need effective resolution strategies. 
Conflict can have a significant impact on colleagues and the business financially and emotionally. It is important that as a manager you have the tools to resolve conflict before it becomes an issue.

Welcome! And thank you for being curious about The Goddess Hour. If you are searching for connection, this could be for you. Each event is different and is filled with Love and Laughter.
I am given a theme for the evening, usually on the day of the event itself and this then becomes our focus for the session, as we follow the guidance and teachings that arise through spoken word, meditation and sharing.
They are beautiful spontaneous affairs that are always different and sometimes surprising! Most importantly they foster a great sense of connection within and without and everyone feels empowered and inspired through attending.
I was guided by the great Goddess Isis to run the first of these events back in May of 2023 and they have been taking place ever since, on the last Wednesday of the month.
They really are special events. Come to one or come to many! There are no rules. If you would welcome the opportunity to connect with other like-minded women, then maybe this is for you...
A sacred hour just for you, to feel held, nurtured and cherished. Oh and I always pull everyone a Goddess Card at the end of the session. Some beautiful individual guidance from the Goddesses themselves...
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or take the plunge and come along to the next one. The only way you will discover if it's for you, like anything in life, is to take part...! And this year, more than ever, feels like it's time that we do things that we have never done before...
