Are you looking to up your game as a facilitator? Or are you considering starting a facilitation gig?
“How to Facilitate Groups” is a great guide to help you make a move from simply putting people together for training to creating a collaborative group.
Facilitation may seem easy, but there are many things that happen in the background that some do not consider. Arm yourself with tools that will help you craft communication skills and become an amazing facilitator. Facilitators today have to be prepared to learn and grow at a rapid rate. They have to be ready to take on the curve balls that are more likely to happen than not.
Building your skills as a facilitator is about more than just simply putting a group of people together and telling them to solve the problem. It is about showing them how their collaboration can improve their work environment, about how their communication and development can help them grow individually and achieve their personal and professional goals. This requires you as the facilitator to gain their engagement and attention. To prove that they can trust you, and to prove to themselves very often that they are capable of more than they currently are doing.
