SFN 30th Anniversary Dinner - November 14 at UTS 5:30pm

 

30th Anniversary

Come for dinner with the SFN community Recollect, share and celebrate our experiences, stories and approaches in facilitation. Inspire our future as facilitators and a networked community of practice.

Monday 14 November at 5:30PM.   (PS Following the next session on October 10 with Rollo Browne) Face to Face: UTS Building 10, Lvl 5, CB10.05.580. In early 1992, Maria and RIchard Maquire hosted a meeting at Zac's cafe in George St, Sydney.  This was the very first meeting of a community of practice which has now continued every month for over 30 years.  We believe it might have also been the first blossoming of such a community of practice in Australia.  The Australian Facilitators Network held its first conference a few years later.  For this night, we will host a potluck dinner and Richard and Maria will talk about what inspired their initiative.  Come along with a plate and share your own introduction to the practice of facilitation.  Bring a story, a photo, or something to post on the History Wall to celebrate our community.  We are building an image bank to present at the event. If you have something to add, please email your image to elyssebeth.leigh@icloud.com at least a week before the event.  More information. HERE

What is your Theory of Change? Rollo Browne

 

Monday 10 October 2022 l 5:30PM.   
Face to Face: UTS Building 10, Lvl 5, CB10.05.580.

This session is for us to explore our working assumptions about how people change.

Facilitation is necessarily about change in one form or another. Embedded in our facilitation design and group leadership are assumptions about how change occurs, what assists it and what gets in the way. There are many change models out there, I use 3 or so different ones depending on the context. My provocation is that there is one at the centre of your practice and this is the one that matters.

Come prepared to discuss 1-2 relevant situations. What kind of change was involved? What model of change were you using when it went well? What was your response when it didn't work the way you had planned? How did your theory of change evolve, if it did? There is no right answer but we can learn from each other. Each person has to come to terms with their underlying theory of change as it evolves. Most of us are still working it out. The main value is that we can refine what we pay attention to. This applies as much to life as it does to work.
