The book discusses how to create dynamic meetings, workshops and processes in which the participants take ownership of the solution, maintain high energy, while achieving the desired results

.The book provides you with a large toolbox that covers planning, execution and implementation of workshop design and results plus makes a difference for managers, employees and organisations.

Facilitation is about achieving results by involving the human resources of the organisation and creating meaning, energy and stronger relationships between people.
