Facilitation

Facilitation is most accurately defined as ‘to make easy’ from the Latin root facilere and French facile. A facilitator assists a group in enhancing collaboration, clarifying shared goals, and strategising to accomplish these goals effectively whether for a conference, event or significant business meeting.

Why use a facilitator?

Using an external facilitator enables events or discussions to run smoothly and allows people to have the conversations they need to have in a safe space. A facilitator brings an objective and impartial presence to get the best out of everyone present.

What does a facilitator do?

  • Help participants feel comfortable and relaxed

  • Enable exchange between participants

  • Keep the conversation flowing, but allow some silence for thinking

  • Stimulate new topics of conversation

  • Encourage a balance of contribution

  • Help the group arrive at an agreed point/conclusion (if required)
