When facilitating a session, time is often the dimension that gets away from us and is the undoing of an otherwise wonderful event.<\/p>\n

You are facilitating a session It\u2019s an important topic – that\u2019s why it\u2019s on the agenda and has been allocated the time. You know how much time that is, because you are familiar with clocks, with the passage of time and with the agreement of how much time your session has been given. You know it would be disrespectful to take up more time, because there are other presenters and sessions to consider too.<\/p>\n

So you won\u2019t glance around the room at the organisers and participants and mutter, \u2018I\u2019m looking at the time,\u2019 as if it were somehow running independently of what you have chosen to do with it. No, you know how time seems to go faster when it\u2019s your session, so you have accounted for that in your design, and if things go slightly differently from how you expected, then you adjust.<\/strong> You are an improviser. It\u2019s what you do. And that\u2019s why you confidently state, \u2018We have a full ten minutes for the next breakout group discussion,\u2019 even though you know you\u2019d planned for 20.<\/span><\/p>\n

Are you an accomplished facilitator or new to running workshops? Do you want to get even better?\u00a0We run several masterclasses every year and you\u2019re welcome to join any of them.\u00a0Contact<\/a>\u00a0us<\/strong>\u00a0and we\u2019ll tell you more about the upcoming workshops.<\/strong><\/p>\n
