Adrian SegarBe cautious about working with someone who calls themselves a "human catalyst". Because we all need to be open to change.

I'm a big fan of the "pair share" facilitation technique. Besides stimulating active engagement, we can use it for group work practice too!

Estelle Platini“A well-known principle of human behavior says that when we ask someone to do us a favor we will be more successful if we provide a reason. People simply like to have reasons for what they do.”
― Robert B. Cialdini, Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion, 1984

Todd BattistelliOne-on-one conversations can be sites where the more powerful party coerces the less powerful, sometimes through abusive behavior.
How does your organization protect its members against this dynamic?

A Thanksgiving moment reminded me that, when working with people, the "bottom" of the group also needs support.

It's hard to take a leap and trust something you haven't experienced and don't yet understand. But sometimes it's best to change first and explain later.

FIDEWhy do we need a competence model for lead deliberative facilitators?
Facilitation is a craft with many origins and schools of thought. Conflict mediation, private consulting, and citizens’ engagement all use some form of facilitation. Even within the deliberative field, we see long-standing debates – do you need table facilitators? We won’t open that box now.
With this competence model, we want to go beyond those differences to find the true value. We identify what a good lead deliberative facilitator must be able to achieve without limiting their methods.
It’s about the what, not the how.
