GROUP FACILITATION, COMMUNICATION SKILLS AND CONFLICT RESOLUTION
Create a Cohesive, Collaborative, and Productive Team
Every group—whether a corporation, nonprofit organization, board of directors, executive leadership team, government agency, school, military unit, community organization or medical facility—exists to fulfill a specific purpose.
Achieving that purpose requires more than individual effort; it requires effective communication, trust, mutual respect, and the ability to work together—even in the face of differences. Too often, group energy is drained by misunderstandings, misaligned goals, or unresolved conflict. Without the tools to move forward, productivity stalls and morale suffers.
Annabel Chotzen and her husband, Will Hartzell, bring decades of experience as facilitators, trainers, and team leaders to help groups overcome these challenges. Together, they guide teams through a highly interactive and customized group facilitation process that teaches essential communication and conflict resolution skills. Participants gain immediate tools and a practical system they can use to resolve issues, increase collaboration, and become more efficient, effective, and aligned with their shared goals.
What the Program Includes
-
Communication Skills Training
Learn and practice essential communication tools at the basic, intermediate, and advanced levels so your team can listen better, speak more clearly, and understand each other across differences in personalities, culture, background, age, or values.
-
Conflict Resolution Process
Address an urgent issue your group is facing through a structured and guided resolution session. The process not only resolves the conflict, it teaches your team how to do it themselves moving forward.
-
Values and Purpose Alignment
Clarify individual and group values, identify common ground, and align team efforts with the overall mission of the organization.
-
Self-Sustaining Skills
Teams leave with a system they can continue to use independently, building long-term collaboration and reducing the need for outside facilitation.

One item was repeatedly mentioned when I asked our staff team for feedback, and that was the very effective way the two of you tag teamed the presentation. Your well timed transitions kept us all on our toes and anxious for more information.
