Facilitation

Great facilitation brings people together, sparks meaningful conversations, and helps teams move forward with clarity and confidence. At Cummings Consulting & Management, we create safe, engaging, and productive spaces where groups can think, collaborate, problem-solve, and grow—whether they are brand-new teams, seasoned leaders, or cross-functional groups navigating complex challenges.

Our facilitation services support organizations at every stage, from developing new facilitators to delivering expert-led sessions when internal bandwidth is limited. Every experience is tailored to your goals, your culture, and the outcomes you need.

  • Our Beginner’s Facilitation program is ideal for individuals who are new to leading groups or who want to build a solid foundation in facilitation. Participants learn how to:

    • Create a welcoming and inclusive environment

    • Lead discussions with clarity and purpose

    • Encourage participation and draw out quieter voices

    • Manage time, flow, and basic group dynamics

    • Use simple tools, questions, and activities to maintain engagement

    • Build confidence in their presence and delivery

    This supportive, hands-on experience helps new facilitators feel prepared and comfortable leading groups with ease.

  • Our Advanced Facilitation program is designed for experienced facilitators, team leads, HR/OD professionals, and anyone who wants to elevate their facilitation mastery. Participants learn how to:

    • Navigate conflict, resistance, and tough personalities

    • Facilitate strategic planning, problem-solving, and decision-making

    • Guide groups through sensitive conversations and high-stakes topics

    • Maintain neutrality while still driving meaningful outcomes

    • Use advanced tools, frameworks, and experiential techniques

    • Lead large, diverse, or multi-level groups with confidence

    • Strengthen presence, agility, and room awareness

    This program equips facilitators to lead with confidence, finesse, and impact in any environment.

  • For organizations that don’t have the internal bandwidth—or simply prefer an experienced, outside presence—CCM provides expert facilitators to lead leadership development classes, team sessions, or customized training programs on your behalf.
