From work to home life, professionals of today aim to be the Hero of their own tomorrows and to accomplish their own goals for a balanced totality of life.

The Art of Facilitation Successful meetings entail more than progressing through an agenda. The art of true group facilitation is managing the process while tapping into the expertise, style and interests of the participants in such a way that they are able to accomplish the group objectives most effectively. Groups often have excellent meeting designs and follow the agenda but are still unable to achieve effective outcomes because they lack a facilitator who understands group dynamics, draws out diverse perspectives in a non-threatening way and manages the process so the group can commit to durable resolutions. Course participants will learn practical tools and techniques for facilitating a groups’ decision making in a way that adds value, keeping the group focused, encouraging richer exploration of the topic(s), and making better decisions with collective buy-in. There will be opportunities for hands-on practice and experimentation with various techniques.

Irish Megalithomania!

NEW! Newgrange, Knowth, Tara and hundreds of lesser-known monuments are older than Egypt’s pyramids, thousands of tons in weight and often aligned to the heavens with remarkable precision. Ireland’s Bronze Age structures are the envy of the world. Yet in the 19th century, the age and origins of these amazing megaliths were unknown, with “scholarly” solutions as to their background an interesting, amusing and often hilarious tale. Fairy forts? Palaces of a vanished prehistoric race? Join us as we examine some of the world’s finest prehistoric structures in Ireland and the quest to understand them! We’ll be led by award-winning ancient historian Kenneth Ostrand. Armed with hundreds of old photographs, a wry sense of humor and story-telling, and a unique sense of curiosity, he will unravel the mystery of the “megalithomania”. We’ll examine old ideas which today seem quaint in light of modern research and carbon dating, separating out fact from fancy.
