"People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."
Maya Angelou
We all know that engagement is the key to effective delivery.
How do you ensure that your audience is authentically engaged when you deliver a workshop, keynote or program?
Youth Engagement Project supports this through:
Facilitation/Presenter Training
Public Speaking Training
Bespoke Workshops
Facilitation/ Presenter Training
Youth Organisations and Program/Workshop Facilitators
Delivered in three stages, this bespoke training is designed for facilitators to have the same language, skill set, and support they need to deliver effective and highly engaging facilitation.
Youth Engagement Project will work with your organisation to determine the current strengths and skills of your presenting team, and design a training that meets the explicit outcomes of your workshop design.
Each stage is delivered as a 1-day workshop, each involving stand-and-deliver opportunities and rich feedback.
Foundations
Master foundational facilitation strategies such as structuring content with precision, providing clear and concise guidance to participants, employing engaging techniques like space anchoring, and practising active listening while valuing participant contributions.
Participants will be guided through embracing risk-taking and personal growth while learning to build rapid connections with diverse audiences and foster inclusive environments marked by safety and clear expectations.
Excellence
Learn how to captivate and inspire by mastering the five facilitation packages and identifying their crucial role in reaching explicit outcomes. Participants discover how to recognise and leverage peak moments for maximum impact, knowing when to build gradient or shift the focus.
Finesse the skills required to create a space of safety and belonging that invites vulnerability whilst managing personal emotional energy. Learn the craft of intentional atmospheres for optimal learning and how to strategically build the complexity and emotional depth of content throughout a program.
Mastery
Feel empowered to create and maintain balanced energy in programs, read and respond to group needs, develop unwavering leadership identity, and master the art of pace and rhythm. Individuals gain insight into the profound impact of nervous system regulation in shared spaces and build confidence in giving and receiving feedback.
Learn to balance intellectual and emotional engagement and tap into organic intelligence by surrendering control. Facilitation Mastery teaches the strategies for seamlessly integrating concepts and exploring collaborative co-facilitation dynamics.
These are outlined in greater detail in the information pack.
“This is the most beneficial external training we have done by a long shot.”
Sam, LifeChanger Foundation
“I loved the balance between play & challenge. Most beneficial were the clear and concise frameworks delivered by Skye and Amanda - These helped set the foundations for our whole team. I am so glad we decided to do this at the beginning of the year, which we will only be able to build upon to have more impact on the teens we serve.”
