“Your facilitation was a big hit and the Fellows really enjoyed it. We appreciate the time and work you've put in to bring this event together and provide an enjoyable experience for our Fellows. Successful events like this allow us to continue the mission of providing quality professional development to our program participants, and your involvement here was indispensable!”

2. “After the Facilitation Bootcamp, I’m taking away the idea that facilitation involves curiosity and observation, and building awareness of your internal and external environments. I’m leaving behind the idea that a meeting has to be the way you originally imagined it, that an agenda is rigid and immobile: The agenda needs to serve the community, the agenda is a prototype, the agenda can be adaptive and responsive”

“We had an excellent experience working with Nathan, Gloria, and Andres from UFacilitate. Our facilitators for our professional development sessions took a lot of time and care to thoughtfully understand our team’s culture, our specific challenges, and what would be most effective for the way we work. The result was a series of trainings where the team was able to learn, practice, and immediately take tactics forward to improve the way we facilitate our meetings internally and externally and to give us all a shared language to talk through our practices as we continue to grow. The UFacilitate leaders felt like an extension of our own team, and we highly recommend them to other organizations, especially nonprofits, as they can immediately add value, build new practices, and strengthen the skillsets of your team.”

“The events were incredibly productive, and they would not have been as successful without the tools and tips we learned from UFacilitate. The UFacilitate coaches presented the background and the theories behind everything we learned and that helped to provide a fuller picture for why meeting design matters. By providing this context for why meetings should be done a certain way, it helped root the learnings in some background in a way that was very thoughtful and different from other consulting programs. I’m really grateful for the opportunity to participate in this process, because in my previous experience organizing a workshop for my staff, I realized I didn't know how to facilitate complex discussions to reach the goals we were trying to achieve. The UFacilitate program opened my eyes to the facilitation skills I didn't know existed -- there's a whole world of facilitation tools that I had never heard of, and the program gave me a little taste of the skills needed to structure and design discussions in a way that's a more effective use of everyone's time and leads to more productive meetings.”

“After the Facilitation Bootcamp, I’m leaving behind anxiety of making the perfect agenda and taking with me the perspective of seeing facilitation as a dance. Seeing facilitation as a dance makes me feel more relaxed: it feels like something that I am versus something I am trying to be.”

“For anyone that needs an organizational culture strengthener, or is looking to help their team connect with their stakeholders, this facilitation training served as a great starting point. It has helped me reimagine what I think it’s possible for meetings! As a leader, I can already see how our team is using the tools and techniques, how it clarified my own vision for what I think is possible, and how it will make our onboarding more effective..”
