Description

Facilitation is a technique used by trainers to help learners acquire, retain, and apply knowledge and skills. Participants are introduced to content and then ask questions while the trainer foster the discussion, takes steps to enhance the experience for the learners, and gives suggestions. It is the duty of the group to do their own, but they guide the learners towards achieving a specific learning outcome that is beneficial to all the parties involved in the facilitation, the ultimate goal is that the aim and objective of the facilitation is achieved. Facilitators can come from any background with different and variety of experience with clear and efficient demonstration of facilitation skills and competence.  Very good facilitators are a very good problem solvers with great problem solving skill and techniques to aid any program or facilitation jobs they are performing. Some facilitators are also very good in conflict resolution and maintain a very calm and cordial atmosphere during the period of facilitation.

One good lesson for every facilitator to know is that you have to know the participants that you are going to handle them, in that case you will need to develop a strategy that will help you to set the standard for the facilitation work and also have a very small information about the kind and caliber of people you are going  to handle them. Every good facilitator will have to first defined the purpose of the facilitation and set the goal so they can measure either they have being able to achieve or reach the goals, nothing can be achieve easily you need to also plan as a good facilitator and ensure that your plan is carefully being followed. In the business of facilitation you need to prepare for the unexpected because you are working with so many people, but l always advice that always respect your audience.

One of the key facilitators responsibilities is to guide and control the event but there are a lot of events l have attended that the facilitators are doing a very poor job with less control of the event so you will not feel the maturity of the event. let all facilitators be serious towards their work.
