A Strategic Step Towards Recovery: Dr. Cynthia Pace's Free Workshop in Baltimore

As the economic landscape shifts and unemployment rates climb, many individuals find themselves struggling to regain their footing in the workforce. In response to this pressing issue, Dr. Cynthia Pace, a nationally recognized Certified Professional Facilitator and founder of The Leadership Guru, is launching a complimentary workshop titled "Facilitate Like a Pro." This initiative, taking place from March 31 to April 1, 2025, in Owings Mills, Maryland, offers a lifeline to those recently displaced from their jobs, equipping them with essential skills to thrive in an evolving job market.

Why Facilitation Skills Matter

Facilitation skills have become increasingly valuable across all sectors. Dr. Pace emphasizes that the ability to guide discussions and decision-making processes not only enhances productivity but also fosters collaboration and innovation within teams. Her workshop aims to transform unproductive meetings into engaging, action-oriented sessions that inspire confidence and drive results.

According to a study by Atlassian, employees waste an average of 31 hours per month in unproductive meetings. This staggering statistic highlights the need for effective facilitation techniques that can streamline processes and improve input from team members. "In an era where time is money, ensuring every meeting is purposeful must become a priority," Dr. Pace remarks.

Workshop Highlights

Participants in the "Facilitate Like a Pro" workshop will gain invaluable insights into the world of facilitation, learning how to:
1. Master Strategic Facilitation Techniques: Discover methods to enhance meeting effectiveness and keep discussions on track.
2. Transform Ordinary Meetings: Turn typical gatherings into dynamic platforms for collaboration, encouraging participation from all attendees.
3. Navigate Complex Discussions: Develop the confidence to manage challenging conversations and achieve consensus among diverse viewpoints.

The event is not just about learning facilitation; it is about creating pathways for individuals to grow, both professionally and personally. Dr. Pace believes that by empowering job seekers with these skills, they can better position themselves for future employment opportunities and career advancement.
