Facilitator

T hat’s what good facilitation’s all about, it’s not about the facilitator, it’s about allowing the group to achieve more by having someone provide frameworks, structure and exercises for discussion and documentation.

Toby’s facilitation sessions range from hypotheticals, both as a planning tool as well as a conference session, through to strategic and tactical business planning sessions.

For his planning sessions, he uses a particularly engaging approach known as Explorer, Artist, Judge, Warrior. This structure allows the team to understand where they are (explore), create ideas (artist), select the ones with the most impact (judge) and then develop an action plan (warrior).

He also uses other tools like meta planning, scenario based discussion and numerous business models to create the highest impact in the shortest possible time.

"T oby was the facilitator for the executive forum hypothetical. His questions were well versed and suited both my objectives and thoughts in a positive way/manner/light. His interview technique is interactive and respectful of people thoughts – he never spoke over the top of anyone. His ability to engage the audience is fantastic. His vitality, enthusiasm and confidence were infectious and left everyone feeling good. He was a pleasure to work with and his organization and information was tight and clear at all times. I absolutely recommend Toby and would like to use him myself.

Toby’s presentation on the hypothetical was well presented and thought provoking. Questions were well researched and formulated. Participants were made to feel comfortable and at ease at all times. Thank you Toby."

"T oby presented to a group of Senior TV Executives and tweaked his technique throughout to suit the group. His organization and preparation was well thought out and catered to the audience.

Toby was able to capture the interest of the group within a short period of time. He was dynamic without being too overpowering or condescending and approached everyone as individuals (made an effort to learn names quickly) rather than assuming they all had the same learning techniques. He was dynamic, captivating and engaging which ensured the group maintained focus throughout the entire session.

Toby is personable, down to earth and knowledgeable, therefore a pleasure to work with. Toby’s delivery techniques were excellent. He got to know his audience very quickly and tailored his delivery to suit us. He was flexible and happy to bend with the breeze when asked to add/delete items to/from the agenda. I would most definitely recommend Toby to other organisations, in fact we would be delighted to use his services again in the future. "

"T oby was exceptional; his style of delivery was both motivating and genuine. This made the learning experience for all participants an absolute pleasure. I found the learnings and tools easy to apply to my current responsibilities and came away feeling refreshed and confident that I had acquired new skills that would really add value.

I would highly recommend any development or leadership courses to my colleagues or stakeholders that Toby facilitates."
