Customer Reviews

Very Helpful - Well Organized and Thoughtful

There are a lot of books about facilitation skills and techniques. This is one of the best because it is well organized and thoughtful in its presentation. It is very theoretical and does help an exerienced facilitator zero in on areas to improve, but is also useful to the beginner by providing a good framework to work from. The key to success (like so many things) is practice. This is a good guide to get you started on the right foot and to use as a reference over time as your facilitation skills develop.

The Facilitator Excellence Handbook

I found thhis book helpful to me as a consultant who is moving in to doing more facilitation. The book contains many specific and practical tools for working with groups while also giving attention to the "softer" side of group dynamics.
