What is Group Facilitation?

Working together can be hard work. Think of your group as traveling on a bus. The challenge is to get the right people in the right seats. Together you survey the environment, anticipate problems and opportunities, problem solve, make decisions, delegate assignments, carry out responsibilities, monitor progress, plan departures, and welcome new passengers. You figure out where you are going and how best to get there. 

Even the best travel plans encounter detours. During these times an outside facilitator, acting like a travel guide, can help you assess the situation, define the problem, gather information,  evaluate options, and design strategic paths. The facilitator guides your group to navigate new pathways to shared outcomes. 

I am interested in helping nonprofits working for a good cause reach their desired outcomes. If you are interested exploring how I might facilitate your group as you explore moving forward, please contact me. With the right nonprofit serving public interests, I will consider pro bono service. Any travel expenses will need to be covered.
