Our Facilitators
No matter how perfect is, the design of a learning intervention, what counts, at the end of the day, is the actual interaction between the facilitator and the trainees. The team of facilitators who work with us, will enlist the participants’ engagement, ensure that they will participate in an inside-out learning experience and help them, learn how to use what they will have learned.
- Their working experience in the business side, enables them to relate to the real challenges of participants rather than “preaching” from a theoretical standpoint
- They are in a continuous learning process, themselves, by participating in facilitation skills improvement workshops (some of them offered by our partners) and have achieved the relevant certification/accreditation.
- Their background comprises of a diversity of experiences across all industries and in many different countries in Europe and the Middle East.
