Templates for easy implementation at every stage of the facilitation process Straightforward tactics for managing difficult participants and emotionally charged situations Realistic examples to help you avoid pitfalls Surefire methods for delegating in a meaningful and respectful manner

From pre-meeting preparation, to the meeting′s critical first few minutes, to its conclusion and beyond, this manual provides step-by-step guidance for the entire facilitation process. It is packed with proven do′s and don′ts based on psychological principles, research, real-life experience, and field-tested best practices.
