Facilitation has been called “a state of mind and a set of skills.”
When you step into the role of facilitator, your primary focus shifts from the “what” to the “how” as you take on some new responsibilities.
Discussion Questions:
- What are some benefits of having a facilitator in the room?
- How does the role of facilitator differ from other participants?
- What facilitation skills come easily to you? What might be more challenging to put into practice?
- How do you deal with disruptive or distracted behaviors when you are in a meeting? What is your experience using some of the tools mentioned here?
