The Facilitation Standard: How to Lead Conversations That Actually Move Work Forward (The Professional Standards Series)

By Jon Edwards

Most people running meetings have never been taught to facilitate. They talk, they present, they manage the clock - but they do not move the group. The Facilitation Standard gives managers, trainers, and team leads a practical system for leading conversations that produce decisions, alignment, and action. Jon Edwards, M.Ed., draws on his instructional design background and years of leading high-stakes team discussions to deliver a no-filler facilitation framework for the real working world. What you will learn: The difference between facilitating and presenting - and why it changes everything. How to design a session that gets to an outcome, not just a discussion. Techniques for managing dominant voices, silent rooms, and derailed conversations. How to close every session with clear next steps and ownership. A facilitation approach that works for teams, workshops, and one-on-ones alike. Part of The Professional Standards Series - direct, practitioner-tested frameworks with no filler.
