Guiding a Group Consciously and Compassionately
Guiding a Group Consciously and Compassionately
What Can Be Facilitated?
Almost anything that requires interaction, discussion, decisions, or the resolution of disputes among two or more people.
To establish trust a facilitator has at least some degree of neutrality. That may vary depending on the situation and type of meeting.
In some meetings, the facilitator is almost a full participant, though maintaining neutrality when moderating an important issue will facilitate that process.
A Facilitator can be used for:
-
a staff meeting
-
a committee meeting
-
a board meeting
-
mediation between two parties
-
a family dispute
- a conflict resolution session for a group
