This pre-conference will give participants soft facilitation skills that will allow them to get the most out of their groups. Participants will gain an understanding of intentional designing experiences for specific outcomes. Topics will include Appreciative Inquiry, cutting edge brain research, sequencing activities, and linking activities throughout an experience. Participants will also gain insights into leveraging positive emotions that motivate people to grow and change. Part of the day will be classroom and part will be a facilitated experience that will act as a case study to the material.

For those who have sat in on Larry Beatty's database classes before and wanted a chance to learn more and develop your own customized databases, now is the chance to do just that. Participants should bring their own computers. (We may be able to provide a few computers.) Database work will be done in Filemaker Pro and demo versions (30 day full working versions of Filemaker Pro) will be provided for all participants that don't already own it. Bring your current data, any logos you use, and we'll spend 6 hours getting you own your way to your own customized database. Class size will be limited so that we can maximize personalized attention. You may bring more than one member of your staff if that is helpful for you. Templates will include equipment and supplies inventory, course usage logs, and individual facilitator's portfolios that track all of the requested information for ACCT Practitioner Certification.
