Facilitation Micro-Skills Seminar

dee kelsey pam plumb


Defusing Explosions...

What to do with anger and
conflict in groups

Access this pre-recorded one-hour TeleClass featuring Dee Kelsey and Pam Plumb,
Authors, Facilitators, and Trainers

I have facilitated many groups for strategic planning and process improvement over the past twenty years and I found the tele seminar on Defusing Conflict to be very informative. Pam and Dee reinforced techniques I use, but also taught me some better ones. Thanks for an enjoyable learning experience! --Kathleen Paris, Consultant, Distinguished, Emeritus, Office of Quality Improvement University of Wisconsin-Madison--


"Just in Time" Learning

Access this one-hour pre-recorded tele-seminar with Dee Kelsey, Pam Plumb and Steve Davis. Dee and Pam, owners of Great Meetings! Inc., have worked together for over 10 years, since they first pooled their experience and expertise in training and facilitation in a jointly developed and delivered certificate course in facilitation skills. They have brought their facilitation skills and training programs to hundreds of individuals and organizations: groups as varied as large corporations, small businesses, nonprofit's of all kinds and sizes, schools, hospitals, medical groups, local and state governments. Together they have written two books, Great Meetings! How to Facilitate like a Pro and the greatly revised and expanded Great Meetings! Great Results, which have carried their message about the importance of facilitation to thousands.

In this pre-recorded interview with Dee and Pam, we discuss how to constructively deal with those most difficult times when things get hairy in groups. Some of the points we discuss are...


Why is conflict so difficult in groups? Aren’t we looking for different points of view when we are facilitating?
How do you distinguish between a healthy conflict and a non-productive, group damaging situation?
In your experience, what are the types of conflicts that you see in groups?
Why are some disagreements more heated than others?
When two participants start arguing angrily and attacking each other, how can you wade into that situation to both diffuse their anger and redirect their energy to a more positive conversation?
What about meetings where the participants are set in two deeply divided camps? What can you do to move things forward?
What specific tools can a facilitator use to help a group work with differences?
How do you manage a sudden dramatic outburst from one participant that startles the entire group?
What are some of the inner attitudes and perspectives you embrace as a facilitator to make dealing with conflict easier?
