Advanced Skill Development Module 2 of the Genuine Contact Program
A meeting is a situation where the collective wisdom comes together to create and innovate, to find solutions and decide next steps, simply to do their work in the best possible way. When meetings are supposed to contribute to the success of a cause, an organization, a group, they need some consideration in advance. Planning a meeting means to consider what is the purpose, what results do we want and how can we achieve those. Other important parts of the planning are timing, method, and design to utilize the collective wisdom of the participants.
Whole Person Process Facilitation (WPPF) taps into the wisdom of the people, allows each person to be authentic and to collaborate to achieve something that is bigger than what they could have done on their own. WPPF works well in all kinds of meetings where you need to learn something to make well-informed decisions, for example in board meetings and other meetings in associations, businesses, municipality councils, campaign and project groups, task-forces. WPPF is ideally suited as a facilitation process for corporate retreats and for multi-stakeholder collaborations as well as for different kinds of learning such as classes and workshops.
WPPF works with the Whole Person, connecting left and right brain, intuition, voice and heart (emotional intelligence). It works from the understanding of adult learning and attends to different learning style needs. It is a flexible container that could be used together with many other tools and processes, such as Open Space Technology or Dialogue Café, that could easily be inserted into a WPPF meeting. It is suitable for both in-person and online meetings.
