Why Firefly facilitation?
At The Firefly Group, facilitation isn’t just about running a meeting or guiding a workshop. It’s about creating the conditions for people to think deeply, connect openly, and act with courage.
For over 30 years, we’ve helped leaders and organisations navigate complexity through facilitation that:
Unlocks clarity – cutting through noise so groups can focus on what really matters.
Builds trust and collaboration – creating safe spaces where honest conversations can happen.
Drives real outcomes – turning dialogue into decisions, and decisions into action.
The Firefly Certified Facilitator Programme is built on this experience. You’ll learn the exact practices and frameworks we use with FTSE 100 companies, global organisations and ambitious start-ups, all while developing your own authentic facilitation style.

What past participants say
"There was a moment that changed how I think about my role as a facilitator. It reminded me that facilitation isn’t just about guiding others - it’s about modelling what you’re asking them to do. If you want people to be open and honest, you have to be willing to go there too. That’s what the Firefly Certified Facilitator Programme gave me, and I’ll carry it with me into every room I walk into from here."
— Stacy Kellogg, Firefly Coach & Certified Facilitator, (read more about her experience in our blog).
