Facilitator Mindset
6 tips
Be the Guide, Not the Hero
Your job is to be an expert in process, not content. Guide them through decision-making.
Stay Content Neutral
Don't take sides or advocate a strong view during the meeting.
Command the Room
Be "BIG" at the front to get people to follow your lead. The bigger you treat it, the better.
Protect Democratic Participation
Facilitators are the protectors of democracy. Make sure each participant feels comfortable contributing.
Be Authentic
There's no one personality type for facilitation. The best style is whatever is most authentic to you.
You're the Conductor
You're the conductor, not the whole orchestra. Let your participants shine!

This workshop was incredibly effective for our remote team! We adapted it slightly for a virtual setting and it worked wonderfully. The key was breaking into smaller breakout rooms.
Great resource! One tip: prepare all materials the day before to avoid any last-minute rushes.
Used this for our quarterly planning session. The structured approach really helped us stay on track!
