If you do any meeting or workshop facilitation, this video will make it easier! It provides an overview of facilitation and many tactical insights which I plan to apply at my next facilitation.
You never need fear that guy who slouches in his seat with his arms crossed ever again.
My guest for this was Robin Parsons. Robin owns a facilitation company called Parsons Dialogue. She has been doing this work for 10 years and even teaches facilitation through ICA Associates. After talking with her I can see how I would have benefited from facilitation training. Things like:
- It is important to start with ground rules.
- Humans are emotional creatures. There are stages a group goes through and you can't skip the step in which they talk about their emotions.
- If your client wants you to get the group to 'come up with the right answer themselves' beware. This is as much manipulation as facilitation.
- Robin has many HR people in her classes because we know we need the skill but didn't learn it in university.
This honestly was such a useful episode. I have some upcoming facilitation and will refer back to it. Check it out!
