Who can be a Facilitator?

Everyone! We welcome all those who are interested in building leadership values in their own lives and the lives around them. If you want to bring the programme to your organisation, community, business, team or family there is space for you here. At LIFT Ireland we know everyone is a leader.

Do I need any qualifications?

No qualifications needed. All we ask is you bring a positive attitude and follow the process. A proficient level of English is needed to fully engage with the programme. We recommend it for people 14 years and older.

How does the programme run?

Come to our facilitator training and we’ll walk you through the whole process! It is simple yet invaluable to learn the process with the experts. Here we will iron out any queries you may have while also building a network of support with other facilitators as well as the LIFT team.

What does training involve?

The LIFT initiative is a self-reflective, value-based programme. We will explore Ireland’s top 8 leadership attributes and practice 3 of them. We will then show you the 5 step process for running a round table in your community. 

Does it cost anything?

LIFT operates on a non-profit model whereby partner organisations contribute according to their financial ability – we have guidelines based on the size of your organisation. All profits are used immediately to subsidise or gift LIFT to those who are unable to contribute financially (though many of them support LIFT in other ways). 

How long does it take?

The facilitator training takes no longer than 5-6 hours depending on the size of the group we are training. Once you are trained, a round table session only takes 30-40 minutes a week. Our programme is designed to run for 8 weeks.

When and where are the facilitator trainings?

We have a number of training events happening regularly  Please contact us to learn more.

Why is it worthwhile being a facilitator?

By becoming a facilitator you become a force for positive change in your community. It’s a simple yet profound initiative that promotes personal and community development. You receive a certificate after completing your training and you learn how to bring out the best in a group.

What does LIFT do for my community?

You are providing a non-judgemental space for people to be heard and to reflect on their values. LIFT round tables build trust, relationships and leadership capability within communities. Personal and organisational skills in values-based leadership are strengthened by this proven systematic approach.

Do I get any support from LIFT?

We provide you with all the materials you need to run a round table. We also welcome you to the LIFT community through events, social media platforms, newsletters and offering support wherever needed.

What is LIFT Ireland?
