Facilitator's Lounge

This page will be open to the general public until Fall 2010. At that time we will be introducing a public information centre and the facilitator's lounge will be for the exclusive use of those people delivering our workshops.

The public information centre will continue to feature useful articles and tips on facilitation and training and will also feature a blog.

The facilitator's lounge will be becoming fully interactive and allow facilitators around the world to communicate with each other and the Encore development team. The lounge will also feature special articles, tips, trends in business and additional materials and updates for Encore Workshops. We will also be featuring special offers on workshops, books and other items of interest to those involved with business education.

Facilitating an Encore Workshop

Tips for Success

All our workshops have been developed so that you can deliver them yourself without the need to hire a professional trainer, or facilitator. Of course, that doesn't mean to say that you can't hire a professional to deliver an Encore Workshop if you prefer; just contact us and we'll be pleased to recommend someone suitable.

The Facilitator's Manual

Everything you need to get started is in this manual. If you read it from cover to cover it will guide you step by step through every stage of the program. It even provides stories and background information.

Participant's Workbook

Once you have reviewed the facilitator's manual, take a look at the participant's workbook. As you will see this book is in the same format as the one you will be using but it doesn't have the answers! It also provides your class members with lots of space to fill in the answers to questions and take notes. They will take the workbook with them when they leave, so that they can refer to it regularly in their work situation.

PowerPoint Presentations

You will have received a CD with your order. It contains the slides you will need to use to deliver the program. Note, we have designed several versions, so peruse them all and see which one fits your requirements the best. Feel free to make any changes you want to the design or the slides, and add your company logo and tag line to the master slide too if you want!

Tailoring the Workshops

Don't feel that you have to deliver every mini workshop in the manual; feel free to tailor the presentation to meet your needs and the time available for the workshop. Need a specific exercise for your staff? Call us and we'll do our best to create one especially for you.

Creating Workshops for Your Staff

If none of our workshops suit your current needs give us a call. We are always happy to take on specific commissions at reasonable rates; and if the workshop you want has a wider appeal we may even develop it at no charge to you and add it to our training library.

So, whatever your training needs, contact us and see how we might be able to help you train your staff.
