TITLE : FACILITATION: PROVIDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR LEARNING

Being a facilitator for training sessions and meetings means helping groups and individuals to work together in continually different situations. There are no clear-cut rules about what to do and when to do it.

FACILITATION is an innovative and stimulating book that guides you through the skills you need to help you develop as an effective facilitator.

What makes this book unique is that it avoids being a simple "how-to" guide, but takes you on a journey through the facilitation skills the author, Trevor Bentley, has found essential in his own extensive experience. Chapter by chapter, we follow a real-life workshop facilitated by the author, from its inception to completion. In this way you are provided with living examples and illustrations of the high and low points of facilitation in practice.

Entertaining and enlightening, this book will allow you to learn how to:

> cope with group facilitation methods that will help members to work constructively together > use intervention strategies to guide the group > manage the interaction between all parties involved-between you and group, and the members of the group

With more and more organizations realizing that training should be about encouraging learning and self-development, now is the time to realize your potential as a facilitator in helping others to learn individually and as a group.
