Online Roundtables and Facilitator Training
Join us online for one of our 40 -minute LIFT leadership learning sessions (roundtables). We also welcome everyone to become a qualified LIFT Facilitator. Register for upcoming online roundtables and future training events below.
LIFT Ireland is an initiative that aims to increase the level of positive leadership capabilities in Ireland. Within ten years, LIFT Ireland wants 10% of the population to have taken part in our leadership learning process. We hope to do this via a facilitator and partner network. Facilitator Training and roundtables are a massive part of building this network. Due to the exceptional circumstances caused by Covid-19, LIFT has now gone virtual. Our trainings and roundtables are available online.
LIFT Ireland has a network of facilitators that lead our leadership learning roundtables. To learn more about what is involved in becoming a LIFT facilitator, please check out our list of answers to the most commonly asked questions. If you would like to become a facilitator, you must first take part in one of our facilitator training workshops. Every month we will be announcing new facilitator training days across Ireland. Join the movement and influence positive change in Ireland. See a full list of events and upcoming facilitator training workshops below.
Online LIFT Roundtables
Event Information:
A LIFT online roundtable is a space where we reflect on leadership values, what they mean to us and how we could improve. We do this by connecting up to 5 people through Zoom and working through a LIFT value such as Positive Attitude, Determination or Resilience. Just one session a week will build your leadership muscle!
Never have leadership values been more important. These challenging times call on all of us to strengthen this muscle.
