Team Facilitation

“In the role of facilitator I work with teams to ‘hold the space’ between frantic action and considered thought. My sense of personal satisfaction comes when I can step back and see the group engaging and working well together”  Jean Balfour

Jean has extensive experience of facilitating team development with a range of teams from Boards to front line delivery or customer service teams.

The facilitation could include

• Strategic and business planning events
• Large team events including using Open Space and Appreciative Inquiry
• Team development events based on Myers Briggs Type Indicator® or team assessment tools

Jean’s areas of expertise include

• team events with a long term impact
• diagnosis of team strengths and weaknesses
• confidential feedback
• action planning
• facilitation of team away days

To support team development Jean often uses a number of tools

• Myers Briggs Type Indicator®
• 360º Feedback
• Practical low impact team development activities
• Thinking Environment™
• Working to improve meeting effectiveness

"Jean has worked with us over the last three years, through development days and facilitating the team away days. She has provided excellent facilitation focusing on conversational life, and how we interact with each other, manage conflict as a team and learn from our MBTI. Jean has provided invaluable long term support and coaching for the team alongside her consultancy and facilitation."
