DESCRIPTION:Portland Design Thinkers\, The Pacific NW Facilitators Guild\
 , and North Bank Innovations are excited to host a special in-person eve
 nt: Hot Topics\, Cool Heads&#13\;\n&#13\;\nEvery team has conversations 
 where stakes are high\, opinions clash\, and silence is just as dangerou
 s as conflict. This interactive workshop gives you practical techniques 
 to facilitate those moments rather than dread them.&#13\;\nIn this 90-mi
 nute\, in-person session at North Bank Innovations at The VIC\, members 
 of the Pacific Northwest Facilitators Guild share their go-to methods fo
 r keeping tempers cool when hot topics arise. Through hands-on exercises
  and group discussion\, you'll focus on group facilitation (team meeting
 s\, cross-functional discussions\, leadership off-sites)\, not one-on-on
 e conflict resolution.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nYou'll leave with several facilita
 tion techniques for cooling down high-stakes group conversations\, plus 
 a simple plan for trying at least one of them out in a meeting sometime 
 in the next two weeks.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nABOUT THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST FACILI
 TATORS GUILD&#13\;\nThe PNWFG is a professional collective of independen
 t facilitators and small firms serving Oregon and Washington. The Guild 
 exists because organizations in this region deserve better access to ski
 lled facilitation when it matters most: the high-stakes conversations\, 
 the stalled innovations\, the cross-functional tangles\, the decisions t
 hat keep getting deferred. Members bring a range of methodologies and de
 ep experience.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nPlease RSVP and let us know if your plans 
 change\, so we can plan accordingly.\n\nTags: portland design thinkers\,
