What is a Facilitator?
A facilitator is someone who plans, guides, and manages group events to meet their goals. However, effective facilitation goes beyond just managing a group. It requires ensuring that every person has an opportunity to hear others and express their ideas. People want to participate in making decisions that affect their lives and see their efforts make a difference in the world.
New Approaches to Leadership
New approaches to leadership are emerging, with changing expectations morphing hierarchies into circles. Authentic leadership and authentic participation are becoming more important than ever. Facilitators use their skills to ensure that every person’s wisdom is included, making the mix richer, and ultimately leading to wiser results.
