“Facilitation is the art of stimulating deeper understanding, fresh thinking and behavioral transformation.”

Events are designed :

• To enable exchange of multiple views from a audience of diverse participants.
• To raise awareness sharing specific information and to hear about the views and perspectives of others.
• To lead to a group decision.

Facilitation is successful when  it achieves these goals:

• Create an environment for effective communication (the achievement of mutual understanding).
• Keep discussion focused.
• Keep people engaged.
• Advance and deepen discussion.
• Provide opportunity for all voices to be heard.
• Create environment of trust and support so disagreement and understanding can surface.
• Leave participants challenged and willing to engage in follow-up conversations.
