Facilitating Through Challenging Behaviours

Do you regularly facilitate meetings or workshops where there are strong opinions and diverse personalities in the room?

Are you looking for simple strategies that will minimise the risk of challenging behaviours, personal agendas and internal power struggles within a meeting?

Would you like tools for addressing disrespectful behaviour in a way that deescalates the situation and keeps everyone engaged?

Holding space for diverse opinions, perspectives and personalities is not always easy, especially when participants exhibit challenging behaviours. Thankfully there are some simple tools and strategies that can make navigating those behaviours less daunting.

In this online workshop series, you will:

✅ Learn how to minimise the risk of challenging and disrespectful behaviours.
As with most things in life, prevention is better than a cure. Learn simple frameworks and strategies for designing a session that minimises the risk of challenging behaviours . It takes more than setting group agreements; it’s about good process, clear structure and effective workshop design.

✅ Discover simple tools for working with the well-intentioned participant.
Not all challenging behaviour is malicious or ill-intended. Sometimes it’s just someone with lots to say or genuine concerns to raise. Learn simple tools for working with the avid over-sharer, the resident-expert, and the yeah-butters in the room. There are easy ways to allow their voices to be heard, without derailing the whole session.

✅ Get a step-by-step process for addressing crappy comments and disrespectful behaviour.
Some behaviours are just flat-out not okay. Discover a step-by-step process for addressing poor behaviour head on, while still maintaining the safety and integrity of the session. Plus, gain the confidence to actually use it.

This online workshop series is for anyone who facilitates meetings, workshops or community conversations and wants to get comfortable dealing with tricky behaviours. The sessions are designed so you walk away with practical tools you can instantly use in your sessions.
