Facilitation Made Easy: Practical Tips to Improve Meetings and Workshops (Future of Education)

by EstherCameron (Author)

Synopsis

The facilitator's task of opening up discussion, getting ideas into the open and setting broad future direction is essential if a group is to reach consensus on a particular outcome and it is now one of the key techniques used in meetings and workshops. This practical introduction to the essential skills needed should help readers to develop a facilitation style that is unbiased and non-manipulative - allowing them to be in control without being overpowering. With detailed examples, proven tips for success, checklists and a self-assessment guide to help readers test their own personal approach to facilitation, the book aims to help readers to: understand the facilitator's role; develop the ideal structure for workshops and meetings; control agendas and help to focus the outcome of meetings; and to deal with difficulties.

Media Reviews
[A] compilation of absolutely indispensable guidelines for everything from setting up a room to ensuring participant safety to using flip charts. Esther Cameron also includes useful information on facilitating groups, dealing with participants and management, and handling assorted logistics. Realistic, honest, and written by someone who's clearly spent time in the trenches. This is the one I recommend to every new classroom trainer who crosses my path. --Jul 1, 2005 - Training Magazine
