G8 Contracting as a Collaborative Process: Advanced Models, Skills & Tools
Level: All Levels
Some facilitators seem to be especially good at contracting. How do they do it? How do they avoid succumbing to pressure from clients who are impatient and disengaged? For that matter, how do they manage to enlist their clients as allies in setting realistic expectations for sound, workable contracts? This workshop offers answers to these questions – and many more. The session provides an insightful, practical framework – along with a clear method and many useful tools – for conducting effective, collaborative contracting sessions.
