Facilitation
by Trevor Bentley
Synopsis
This though-provoking guide explains the role of the "facilitator", as opposed
to instructor or trainer, and illustrates the advantages of adopting this method
and how training changes when facilitation is used. It also offers encouragement
and suggestions for what the facilitator can do to develop their training
abilities. A workshop run by the author is used throughout the book to show the
skills necessary to act as a successful facilitator. The book shows how the
trainer or "facilitator" can use situations to empower the progress of the
group, whatever subject or skill they are learning.

Description
Innovative, thought-provoking and not just another `how to' guide, this book is
a journey through the experiences of a skilled facilitator. It explains the role
of the `facilitator', as opposed to instructor or trainer, and illustrates the
advantages of adopting this method and how training changes when facilitation is
used. It also offers encouragement and suggestions for what the facilitator can
do to develop their training abilities. A workshop run by the author is used
throughout the book to show the skills necessary to act as a successful
facilitator. This brings the book alive and shows how the trainer or
`facilitator' can use situations to empower the progress of the group, whatever
subject or skill they are learning.

Jeffrey Cufaude recommended this book, and I thoroughly
enjoyed it. I particularly enjoyed the quotes from the Tao of Pooh.
Highly recommended for anyone who wants to facilitate.
