[Heather Gridley]

Thanks for this notice Bob - I'm copying it to the Community Psychology
email list, with plenty of encouragement to our Queensland colleagues to
take up this opportunity if they have the chance. Bob has conducted two
similar workshops for the Community College in Victoria over the past
two years, and the feedback has been great.

By the way (and others might be interested to know this too) - you can
post any event on the APS website events calendar

Dear Heather

On the weekend of 21-22 July I'm offering a two day workshop on advanced
facilitation skills.

If you have colleagues or clients whom you think it will benefit, I'd be
grateful if you'd bring it to their attention.  It's priced at $594, and
for deserving cases we also offer a small number of half price
bursaries.


It is intended for people who already have some skills and experience at
facilitating small groups and who wish to enhance their skills and
understanding through a mix of theory, instruction, and practice.

It is likely to be relevant for consultants and facilitators, and also
for managers and team leaders with some facilitation experience.


The content will be negotiated with participants.  However, it is likely
to include a choice from the following:

 o  designing, observing and diagnosing group process

 o  preparatory work for groups: goal setting, climate setting,
    relationship and community building

 o  using processes derived from complexity theory for problem
    solving or decision making when rational processes won't work

 o  facilitating learning, change, and/or meetings for
    problem-solving and decision-making

 o  intervening in difficult situations and resolving conflict.

I'll be using action research principles and processes to fine tune the
workshop as it progresses.  Knowing something of my style you can
probably guess that it will be experiential and participative, with
theory and practice well integrated.


Anyone interested will find further details on the Interchange web site
at http://bobdick.com.au or is welcome to email me at bd at uqconnect.net



Warm regards    --  Bob
