IOA Live Virtual Workshop: Play, Simulate, Reflect: A Guide for Deep Group Facilitation

Play-Simulate-Reflect is a formula for eliciting deep group engagement, creating safety through the indirect examination of difficult issues, and for centering effective reflection and conversation about present group concerns. It is a process of building community and robust engagement that fosters innovation, vulnerability and insight, and shared perspective. Over the course of four hours, we will understand the value of play and how this creates the space for effective group facilitation; the importance of simulation, particularly when there are process, communication, and effectiveness concerns; and how to move from abstract to present concerns through a guided reflection process. In this highly engaged workshop, participants will learn multiple group facilitation techniques and exercises by experiencing them firsthand and will leave with tools to use in their own practice.
