We Wanted YOU to Know … We’re Hosting a Virtual Facilitative Leadership Forum this Fall

We're trying something new and different for us - a Virtual UnConference! So what does that mean? Well, what Virtual UnConference means in the end, will be defined by all the participants who will shift and flex into roles of leader, teacher, learner, facilitator to collaboratively create the curriculum. As a starting point, we will be exploring and experiencing Facilitative Leadership through a series of web based sessions followed by small conversation pods and personal activity and reflection. More detail is available on our wiki, including the initial pre-thinking assignment due to be completed prior to the first call.

When? Six Monday evenings, October 19, October 26, November 9, November 16, November 30, December 14, 7:00PM – 8:30PM ET

To participate, please call 919-363-7562 to register (please see the levels of Participation below). You will need a computer with internet connection and a headset with microphone. There will be an optional call in line provided.

The Outcome of the Forum is for each participant to discover her / his highest potential and create a personal plan for developing her / his leadership.Facilitative Leadership is the practice of leading people toward agreed-upon objectives in a manner that encourages participation, ownership and insight from all involved. In practical terms, it's about connecting people in ways that create energy to accomplish amazing things together. And even better, people bring their best selves and best work to the group. This is a great working definition - what do we do with that...


We're sitting with a lot of questions such as:

  • What is Leadership in the Future?
  • How can I more fully activate my leadership, facilitatively?
  • What are the most important aspects of facilitative leadership?
  • How can I evolve my leadership?
  • How can we be in collaboration - with a knowing of when is the time to step forward and lead others... and when to lead from within the group

What's in store for you at the Facilitative Leadership Forum?
  • a supportive environment for sharing your own leadership ideas and practices
  • an open forum for learning and incorporating new skills from others
  • a collective experience where you can discover your highest potential
