About the Solutions

Overview

We need to put in practice the facilitation skills we have access to when we are
participating in groups. We can serve the group process effectively by listening to every
voice carefully, expressing ourselves clearly using the techniques of a non violent
communication approach, by being focused on the topic, by asking the right questions
in the right moment and building trust.

The challenge

Sometimes groups processes are not as satisfying and effective they could be.
Problems like poor communication, internal competition, lack of clarity or poor decision
making processes are often present in the running groups. On the other hand,
sometimes group processes seem to be magical, resulting in a great connection
among the members, good quality decisions made and a transformation of conflict into
consensus. How can we contribute to a satisfying and effective group process?

Effective group facilitation is an artful dance requiring rigorous discipline. The role of
the facilitator offers an opportunity to dance with life on the edge of the sword, to be
present and aware, to be with and for people in a way that cuts through to what
enhances and facilitates life. A facilitator is a peaceful warrior.”
