Facilitation Optimiser

What happens when the group goes off track

Free 60 minute workshop. May 13, 2026 at 7:30 pm (AEST)

Many facilitators get stuck when the group deviates from the agenda. You've set a clear agenda, the conversation drifts, a side topic takes over, or the group dynamics get in the way. Do you pull them back? Let it run? Something else? In this webinar, we explore practical ways to recognise when a group has left the track and how to bring them back without shutting down what matters.

In this webinar, you will:

Learn practical approaches to refocusing a group without losing trust or momentum
Build confidence to make in-the-moment decisions about when to redirect and when to let the conversation run
Discover a diagnostic lens for identifying what is missing in a group's interaction
Walk away with a practical framework you can apply in your very next meeting or workshop.

The webinar will be led by Simone Maus and Dr Stephen Thorpe from Zenergy Global, who will co-lead an Advanced Facilitation Training in Sydney from 29 June to 3 July 2026 with Simone. This webinar is a perfect taste of the kind of thinking that underpins that course.
