About This Course

Facilitation is the art of settling a system so it can shift with intention. It's the difference between running a meeting and architecting a space where your team can think together, move together, and own the outcomes together. In this course, we strip away the corporate theatre and focus on what actually works: Thinking Architecture. You'll learn the frameworks, the moves, and the mindsets that let you design workshops and conversations that create real clarity, build genuine alignment, and move your complex organization forward. Self-study does not mean isolated study. When you enrol, you will also have access to the Core State Community, where you will have online access to course creators Sharon Robson and Will McNelis as well as a network of other facilitators to ask questions, get feedback on your runsheets and discuss facilitation challenges.  Ready to elevate your facilitation capability? Transform how your team thinks, decides and delivers. Get instant access to Module 1 and join our active practitioner community today.
