How do you collaborate with other group facilitators and stakeholders?

2 Share the roles and responsibilities

Group training involves multiple group facilitators who need to work together as a team. To avoid confusion, conflict, or duplication, you need to share the roles and responsibilities of each group facilitator. Who will design the curriculum, the materials, and the activities? Who will facilitate the sessions, the discussions, and the assessments? Who will handle the logistics, the technology, and the administration? How will you support and complement each other's strengths and weaknesses? By sharing the roles and responsibilities, you can foster a collaborative and cohesive group facilitation team.

3 Seek and provide feedback

Group training is a dynamic and interactive process that requires constant feedback from and to the stakeholders. You need to seek and provide feedback to improve the quality, relevance, and effectiveness of the group training. How will you collect and analyze feedback from the learners, the sponsors, the managers, and the evaluators? How will you use feedback to adjust and adapt the group training accordingly? How will you give and receive feedback among the group facilitators? How will you celebrate the successes and learn from the challenges? By seeking and providing feedback, you can enhance the learning and performance of the group training.

4 Respect the diversity and inclusion

Group training involves diverse and inclusive groups of learners who have different backgrounds, perspectives, needs, and preferences. You need to respect the diversity and inclusion of the learners and the stakeholders. How will you design and deliver the group training to accommodate the different learning styles, preferences, and paces of the learners? How will you create and maintain a safe, respectful, and supportive learning environment for the learners? How will you acknowledge and leverage the diversity and inclusion of the stakeholders? How will you address and resolve any issues or conflicts that may arise from the diversity and inclusion? By respecting the diversity and inclusion, you can foster a positive and engaging group training experience.

5 Embrace the innovation and creativity

Group training is a creative and innovative process that requires new ideas, approaches, and solutions. You need to embrace the innovation and creativity of the group facilitators and the stakeholders. How will you explore and experiment with new tools, techniques, and strategies for the group training? How will you encourage and inspire the learners and the stakeholders to share their ideas, insights, and experiences? How will you integrate and apply the innovation and creativity to the group training? How will you measure and evaluate the impact and value of the innovation and creativity? By embracing the innovation and creativity, you can enrich the content and delivery of the group training.

6 Build the trust and rapport

Group training is a relational and emotional process that requires trust and rapport among the group facilitators and the stakeholders. You need to build the trust and rapport of the group facilitators and the stakeholders. How will you establish and maintain a professional and ethical relationship with the stakeholders? How will you demonstrate your competence, credibility, and reliability as a group facilitator? How will you show your empathy, respect, and appreciation for the learners and the stakeholders? How will you create and sustain a fun, enjoyable, and meaningful group training experience? By building the trust and rapport, you can increase the satisfaction and retention of the group training.
