Coach Davender has extensive experience in small and large group facilitation, including leading discussion groups, being a Master of Ceremonies for special events and organizing networking events. Here are some specific examples:
- “Open Space Technology” (Un-conference) – An innovative approach to enable groups from 10 to 1000 people to discuss ideas and cooperate towards a focused result, using a simple and powerful process. Every participant feels that they are directly contributing to the final result through their questions, their ideas and their opinions. In an Open Space event, participants interact and collaborate whatever their rank or experience, which helps to foster better communication and collaboration within the group.
This methodology has many applications, including:
- Strategic planning retreats
- Team Building (Mission, vision and shared objectives)
- Launching a business, project or team
- Convention (knowledge sharing)
- Group event before or after annual general meeting
- Event Chair (Elections, Annual General Meeting)
- Master of Ceremonies (Awards Ceremony, Gala, Special Event)
- Networking Event: Private or open networking functions, using innovative tools that help break the ice and foster connections between the participants. Popular events include “Grand Networking Breakfast”, “Slow-Dating” or Happy Hour mixers. I guarantee that every participant will make a new contact!
Coach Davender has extensive practical experience in organizing and leading these types of events. His qualifications include attaining the level of Distinguished Toastmaster through Toastmasters International.
