RapidConsensus 7 Principles
The RapidConsensus process thrives on ensuring every voice is heard, providing the group with the best information and knowledge for consensus and progress.
Principle # 4 'Listen to everything, defend nothing' is a highly effective skill to facilitate agreement - just one of the principles we uncover here.

Developing a growth mindset
I have made many mistakes in facilitating groups, however these experiences are what have allowed me to learn and continue to get better over time.

Power of focus: Preferred state
In our latest workshop we discussed the role of the Reticular Activating System (RAS) in the brain. We learnt how shifting the group's focus towards envisioning a shared future, helps steer away from focusing on problems, to possibilities.
This shift towards the preferred taps into the RAS's knack for boosting awareness and uncovering hidden opportunities.
Clarity for productive meetings
Meetings have a sneaky way of chewing up productivity and our time. So, knowing what you want out of a meeting and how to get the best result is a critical skill.
Here we share 4 key questions to ensure meetings add value by unpacking the decisions needed upfront to design around the group for optimal results.
DiSC behavioural profile
During the workshop we cover elements from the behavioural model DiSC to help participants understand different styles in group meetings and the workplace.
This fits into the core framework of RapidConsensus, teaching group dynamics and as a facilitator an awareness of the various styles. Here you will find further information about DiSC.
