Designing for Strategic change

A 1-day practical deep dive to understand dynamics of strategic transformational changes and lead the way to successful change management practices.
Super impressive to learn that facilitation is so much more than 'just' directing the conversation within groups - it involves voice, body language, presence, the art of asking the right questions, listening and so much more.
