Facilitation is the process of enabling groups to work cooperatively and effectively in order to achieve their goals. In particular, facilitation is important in circumstances where people of diverse backgrounds, interests and capabilities work together. Occasionally a group will invite the assistance of a facilitator where a particular opportunity is available to bring a large number of members together and a number of issues or problems need to be addressed within a particular timeframe.

As a facilitator I offer:

• Skills of deep listening
• Capacity to clarify and challenge through questions
• Opportunities to engage imagination, intuition and rationality
• Affirmation and support
• Careful planning combined with flexibility
• Energy and direction in designing plans, policies and statements of vision
