Find Your Inner Facilitator
A Hands-On Training on Facilitation
What makes the great product and engineering meetings? What enables product, engineering, and program managers to get world class performance from their teams & the people they support?
Not their technical skills. Not their work ethic. Not even their organization skills.
But their ability to facilitate (crucial) conversations.
To enable teams to brainstorm ideas, disclose issues, problem solve, and make decisions. These are high leverage moments that can create massive upside when done well, or spiral into major downsides when done poorly.
We will demystify the art of facilitation into a learnable framework:
Planning: Design agendas and processes for high-energy, insightful sessions
Listening: Create an open, non-judgmental space that invites authentic sharing
Inviting: Draw out diverse voices and spur creative thinking with powerful questions
Redirecting: Tactfully steer wayward discussions back on track and manage different views
Synthesizing: Identify key insights and commitments for real change
Led by veteran facilitators and tech leaders Jason Shen and Miroo Kim, this workshop provides a rare chance to learn directly from experienced practioniers. Through simulations, you'll get hands-on practice applying facilitation techniques to common scenarios tech managers face: retrospectives, roadmap planning, post-incident reviews, and more.
Whether you're an experienced facilitator looking to level up or a new manager leading your first session, this workshop will equip you with a versatile skillset to align teams, accelerate learning, and build better products. Unlock your inner facilitator and lead transformative conversations that get results.
