Facilitation Training:

MendoFutures announces its third annual "Facilitation Training for Chaotic Times" - a seven day training that teaches participants the skills of facilitation, including how to form high quality questions, design meetings around outcomes, and move groups towards sustainable high functioning organizations.

The teacher and master facilitator, Steve Zuieback, is a long time member of the Ukiah community with over thirty years of experience consulting for organizations such as Ernst & Young, BHP, Coles Myers, California Department of Education, Kaiser Permanente Health Care, National Training Associates and school districts throughout California.

Previous class participants include city council members and managers, non-profit directors, healthcare professionals and private business owners. Ukiah City Council member Mary Anne Landis calls this "a class for our time," emphasizing the "great networking that results from the focus on real community issues with other folks working for the common good here."

The class will meet on September 7 and 8, October 7, November 4, and December 2, 2011, and January 6 and February 3, 2012, in Ukiah. The class costs $595 for seven days of training in addition to weekly teleconferences, web based exercises and a training manual. All proceeds go to MendoFutures - a non-profit organization committed to "making local resources work for Mendocino County."
