In the ever-evolving business landscape, effective facilitation skills are essential for driving collaboration and innovation. As organizations face complex challenges, the ability to lead productive group interactions has become invaluable. Leadership Strategies is proud to be recognized as one of the top three virtual facilitation training providers by The Fountain Institute, a respected authority in the field.
The Effective Facilitator: Our Most Popular Course
At Leadership Strategies, our most popular course, ‘The Effective Facilitator,’ has received acclaim for its practical and immersive approach to developing facilitation skills. As our President and CEO, David Stargel states, “There is a difference in a class and an experience. Our clients tell us they leave our training with the competence AND the confidence to immediately apply what they not only learned, but experienced.” This sentiment is echoed by our clients, who often share their success stories after completing the program.
Emphasis on Practical Application
A key trend highlighted in the State of Facilitation 2024 Report is the emphasis on practical application. Many courses now focus on hands-on, practical learning experiences rather than theoretical knowledge. This approach helps participants apply what they learn immediately in real-world settings—a trend that Leadership Strategies has been on top of for years.
Nationwide Availability
We offer in-person training across various cities in the United States, including:
- Atlanta, GA
- Washington, DC
- Seattle, WA
- Las Vegas, NV
- Pop-up sessions in select cities
This flexibility allows participants to choose the learning environment that best fits their needs, whether they prefer a virtual setting or face-to-face interaction.
Proven Results
‘The Effective Facilitator’ is not just a course; it’s a transformative experience. Our clients consistently report outstanding results. For example, one participant shared, “Leadership Strategies provided an amazing course for me and my coworker as we are both new to our position. I now feel confident about my facilitation skills and I feel like I can be a better leader.” This program equips participants with the skills they need to drive meaningful change within their organizations.

Formal Certification
According to the State of Facilitation 2024 Report, there is a growing interest in obtaining formal certification in facilitation.
