Facilitators: Intrepid tribe that face groups armed only with a marker and a firm belief in the participants’ ability to find a way forward.” – Beatrice Briggs.

Facilitators are those who focus on the process –as contrasted to the content– of a meeting, seek forum, assembly or other setting in which people come together to share ideas, develop plans and/or make decisions.

We offer training for facilitators, because we believe that skilled facilitators are critical whenever effective collaboration is both a value and a goal.
