Every voice. Decisions out.
Good facilitation turns a room of opinions into a decision everyone understands. It's a learnable skill, not a personality trait.
Purpose
What We'll Leave With
Say the outcome at the start: a decision, a plan, a list.
Structure
Timeboxes And Formats
A clear agenda, timeboxes, and a format suited to the goal.
Include everyone
Quiet Voices First
Silent writing before discussion. Rounds, not free-for-alls.
Close properly
Who, What, When
End with decisions, owners and dates, written down.
