"Step by Step to Empowering Facilitation Skills" is more than just a manual about working with people. It's a book that will change the way you manage others forever.
In 9 modules and 162 steps, you'll discover how to facilitate people's processes, rather than yours, and lead them to realise their own possibilities.
You'll start with "What is Facilitation?", "People and Groups", and "Starting Groups"; move on to "Issues of Control"; "Empowering People", and "The Facilitator's Toolkit"; take a tour around "The Creative Process" and "The Skills of Facilitation"; and end up with "Endings and Separations".
Here's just a fraction of what you'll learn:
- Why facilitation is at the heart of the modern revolution in learning
- The difference between large and small group behaviours
- Why you shouldn’t rescue people when they think they’re drowning
- The powerful technique of “kindly provocation”
- The most important 3-letter word in the facilitator’s dictionary
- What dolphins can teach us about learning how to learn
- Why gentleness is a sign of strength
and much much more.
When you try to force people to go where you want them to go, it's like pushing a river upstream. If that's the way you still manage groups and individuals, it's time you stopped and started to make things easier. It's time you learnt how to "facilitate".
“Step by Step to Empowering Facilitation Skills” is the 10th book in the MTL Step by Step Training Series.
