At Rooted Consulting Group, we've developed a unique training program that goes beyond basic facilitation to address the complex dynamics of diverse teams and decision-making processes.

Why Facilitation Matters

Effective facilitation is the cornerstone of productive meetings, collaborative decision-making, and successful outcomes. Whether you're allocating funds, developing strategies, or building consensus among stakeholders, skilled facilitation can:

1. Ensure all voices are heard and valued
2. Navigate complex group dynamics
3. Drive more efficient and effective decision-making
4. Foster a culture of inclusivity and equity

Our Equitable & Inclusive Facilitation ®️ (EIF) training is designed to equip you with these critical skills, tailored specifically for the non-profit and advocacy sector.

The Rooted Consulting Group Difference

What sets our training apart is our focus on equity and inclusion. We recognize that traditional facilitation techniques often fall short of addressing the unique challenges faced by diverse groups. Our framework emphasizes:

1. Clear and intentional language
2. Accounting for diversity of perspective
3. Balanced participation
4. Understanding human complexity and group dynamics
5. Supporting constructive and democratic dialogue
6. Embracing individual identities

These principles ensure that your facilitation skills are not just effective but truly equitable and inclusive.
