FacilitatorU Lifetime Membership

Are your frustrated leading or participating in groups that aren’t working very well together?

By their very nature, groups are tough to lead and facilitate. Groups are entirely different entities than the sum of the individuals involved. Getting the results you want takes far more than simply bringing a bunch of smart people together.

But there are ways to deal with each and every situation you encounter. Once you understand group dynamics and leadership, you’ll transform your problems with groups into opportunities and enjoy the satisfaction of achieving greater results that comes with being part of a high functioning team.

If you know you’ve got more to learn about how to get the best results from your groups, we can help. We’ve distilled the collective wisdom of thousands of change agents into a collection of easily accessible group leadership tools, training, and resources that even those with little experience can use to help lead groups to accomplish great things. Join the FacilitatorU.com!

Whether you’re an official group leader, facilitator, trainer, consultant, coach, or even a group participant, become a member of this network and receive the training, tools, and resources you need to get the results you’re after in your groups. We offer three different membership options outlined at the bottom of this page. Are you interested in facilitation, training, or group leadership? Yes? We invite you to join the FacilitatorU.com community.

As creator and coordinator of the Global Facilitator Service Corps Mentored Pathways Program, I wanted to tell you that many of the Guides, Checklists and other articles have been invaluable to our volunteer facilitators in their work in community reconstruction and resilience building in New Orleans, Latin America, Southeast Asia and other areas. The clear, concise and practical nature of the various models you present have been of especially great value in the training of local facilitators in a post-disaster crisis. Thanks you again for your generosity and for your professionalism. –Gilbert Brenson-Lazan, GFSC Mentored Pathways Coordinator–

I’ve just come to the end of a series of workshops run over the last 8 weeks and wanted to thank you for all the guidance, education and support that you have provided via FacilitatorU.com. The workshops have been a resounding success, but that was due to the approach I learned from you about preparation; the confidence I gained from the teleclasses I attended and the regular reminders of the basic skills found in your weekly newsletter. It is clearly a winning combination. –Julia Amunwa, Programme Manager–You’ve posted some wonderful resources here! I’m glad I signed up! I think you’re doing the facilitation a great service, Steve, and I feel grateful to be included in the community of practice. –Meri Aaron Walker, President, Between the Lines–
