Team Development
In businesses, non-profits, groups, and organizations, nurturing and sustaining teams has become critical in accomplishing organizational goals. Team Development events use a trained facilitator to help teams and groups understand what happens when difficulties and conflicts emerge. The facilitators teach team members skills in responding to conflicts, build group understanding and confidence in accepting multiple points of view, and work together to set goals and build on individual strengths to create a strong team. Trained facilitators can assist teams in changing patterns of interaction which in turn affect the culture of the team environment.
Our professional facilitators can help in these ways:
- Consultation
- Strategic Planning
- Visioning
- Mission Statements
- Effective Meetings
- Workgroup Facilitation
There are over 25 million meetings every day in the U.S. Our facilitation skills can help your group work smarter, harder, deeper and faster. |

Facilitated Training
For groups in conflict, the Conflict Resolution Center (CRC) has developed a unique and effective process that combines conflict management training with facilitation to help move groups beyond their differences/conflicts. Our facilitators are skilled in working with group conflict and helping groups move beyond their conflicts in healthy, proactive ways. We create opportunities for groups to work through real conflict with each other.
During this process, our professional facilitators will do the following:
- Use training techniques based on how adults learn best
- Use training techniques based on sound conflict management principles
- Encourage participants to bring up “hot” issues and actual conflicts they face in their group and/or workplace
- Help participants talk about their issues/conflicts and apply the conflict management skills they have learned
We have found that facilitated training can generate real and needed change. The “old” process of training without discussing real issues/conflicts or mediating conflict without any training in conflict management left participants wanting more (i.e., “How do we make this better now that we’ve solved some of our issues/conflicts?” or “We understand the skills but how should we apply them to our real issues/conflicts?”) Facilitated training has the potential to transform long-term conflict into a win-win situation for all involved.
