What to Expect
Virtual Facilitation Training from Cities Reimagined ✨
Join us for a 4-week live online series designed to help you lead better meetings, navigate group dynamics, and create energizing, inclusive spaces—whether you're in the boardroom or a breakout room.
Thursdays, May 22 – June 15
10–11 AM EST live on Google Meet
This workshop is equal parts practical and inspiring. Together, we’ll cover:
Applying the “3 E’s” (Expectations, Environment, Engagement) to plan and execute a facilitated meeting
Utilizing virtual tools (e.g., Mural, Loom, Google Forms) to enhance meeting facilitation
Identifying and managing different types of participants (e.g., Expert, Litigator, Multitasker, Wallflower) and resolve conflict during facilitated meetings
Whether you’re new to facilitation or ready to level up, you’ll walk away with practical skills, real talk, and a renewed confidence in your role as a guide—not a guru.
Ready to sharpen your facilitation chops?
