WHO’S FACILITATOR?

FACILITATORA facilitator is an individual who enables groups and organizations to work more effectively; to collaborate and achieve synergy. She or he is a “content-neutral” party who by not taking sides or expressing or advocating a point of view during the meeting, can advocate for fair, open, and inclusive procedures to accomplish the group’s work.

GROUP DYNAMICS

Forming

FORMING

This characterizes the time when a group is first coming together, or when new members are joining the group

FACILITATOR’S TASK: The task of the facilitator in this stage is to assess what group forming work needs to be done, and then to structure an appropriate opening so that people can feel safe, legitimized, valued and have a sanctioned way to get a feel for one another

FORMING FACILITATION• planning introductions and orientation

• reviewing the “road map” (desired outcomes and agenda)

• using warm up activities

• inviting expressions of expectations

• establishing ground rules

• agreeing upon decision-making methods

STORMING

Storming is the stage where members are concerned about control, power and influence

FACILITATOR’S TASK: The task of the facilitator in this stage is to assess and name the specific storming issues of the group, and guide and model good conflict resolution process

STORMING FACILITATION• remember you are not the target

• serve as a mirror to the group

• separate the problem from the person

• acknowledge, then deal with or defer any concerns

• enforce the ground rules

• be assertive in your role as process expert

NORMING

Norming is the stage in which group members move toward inter- dependence

FACILITATOR’S TASK: The task of the facilitator is to support the group’s functioning

NORMING FACILITATION

• mirror and record norms that are emerging

• affirm the group’s cohesiveness and the work it has taken to get there

• affirm the positive value of expressing differences

• guide the group through collaborative negotiation

• provide opportunities for the group to enjoy its connectedness

PERFORMING

Performing is the stage where the group is working collaboratively and is highly productive

PERFORMING FACILITATION

• offer effective processes for getting the task accomplished

• format the work in a way that is useful to the group

• affirm the good work of the group

PROCESS REVIEW - WHAT WAS GOOD?

NON-VERBAL LISTENING SKILLS

• Eye Contact

• Body Positioning

• Facial Expressions

• Silence

“YOU” AND “I”• "You" messages remove the ownership for behaviour

from the person speaking and label the receiver instead of describing the thoughts, needs or feelings of the speaker

• "I" messages promote positive communication, which in turn fosters effective interpersonal relationships. They promote ownership by the speaker of his needs, wants, and feelings, rather than a projection onto the listener

QUESTIONS

• Direct questions

• Open-ended questions

• Repetition
