Facilitation

A facilitator is someone who:

• enables groups and organisations to work more effectively
• promotes inclusive processes, thereby increasing participation
• helps the group to consider its beliefs and assumptions
• assists the group in agreeing its main goals and identifying the steps needed to achieve these.

The most important skills and abilities that mark out my facilitation style are:

• sense of humour
• excellent interpersonal skills
• belief in the possibility of win-win agreements
• keen interest and understanding of group dynamics
• ability to keep the group on track
• belief in the right of everyone to participate
• good time keeping
