Recognize and Intervene on Distorted Thinking, Part I

June 23, 2014 by Steve Davis 2875 Commentshttps%3A%2F%2Ffacilitatoru.com%2Ffacilitation%2Frecognize-and-intervene-on-distorted-thinking-part-i%2FRecognize+and+Intervene+on+Distorted+Thinking%2C+Part+I2014-06-23+07%3A45%3A33Steve+Davishttp%3A%2F%2Ffacilitatoru.com%2F%3Fp%3D287

Distorted thinking is more common than ever during a time when we are bombarded with information day after day. Unfortunately, so much of this input is misinformation propagated through distorted thinking patterns rather than through critical thinking processes. Distorted thinking impacts our communication and hence the quality of our work with groups. So as group […]

Facilitating Disaster Recovery

June 9, 2014 by Steve Davis 3051 Commenthttps%3A%2F%2Ffacilitatoru.com%2Ffacilitation%2Ffacilitating-disaster-recovery%2FFacilitating+Disaster+Recovery2014-06-09+07%3A19%3A14Steve+Davishttp%3A%2F%2Ffacilitatoru.com%2F%3Fp%3D305

As facilitators, we may someday be called upon to support those who have been deeply affected by the trauma resulting from a major disaster. My friend and colleague, Dr. Gilbert Brenson-Lazan developed the Global Facilitators  Serving Communities (GFSC) Global Facilitators Serving Communities any years ago to meet this need by training and dispatching volunteer facilitators to all […]

12 Acts of Courage to Change Meetings for Good

May 27, 2014 by Steve Davis 3653 Commentshttps%3A%2F%2Ffacilitatoru.com%2Fmeetings%2F12-acts-of-courage-to-change-meetings-for-good%2F12+Acts+of+Courage+to+Change+Meetings+for+Good2014-05-27+06%3A32%3A10Steve+Davishttp%3A%2F%2Ffacilitatoru.com%2F%3Fp%3D365

As the information age races on, we find ourselves facing constant change, a global economy open for business around the clock, and increasingly complex challenges. With much of this work done virtually, via the telephone or the Internet, we’re becoming more isolated than ever and left yearning for human contact. To keep the machine chugging […]

Is Charismatic Leadership Good for Groups?

May 13, 2014 by Steve Davis 3676 Commentshttps%3A%2F%2Ffacilitatoru.com%2Ftraining%2Fis-charismatic-leadership-good-for-groups%2FIs+Charismatic+Leadership+Good+for+Groups%3F2014-05-13+08%3A00%3A44Steve+Davishttp%3A%2F%2Ffacilitatoru.com%2F%3Fp%3D367

Clearly we’re all drawn to charismatic leaders. Whether we’re talking about political leaders like JFK, public speakers like Zig Ziglar, or trainers like Anthony Robbins, how does the charisma or strength of a group leader impact a group, pro or con? We’ve become increasingly conditioned to being entertained, via television dramas, commercials, movies, talk shows, […]

Getting the Boss Onboard

How often have you been in a meeting or a facilitated group only to see your collective progress thwarted by the group’s formal leader or manager? This is a common dilemma given that the manager is responsible for the product of his/her group and is therefore compelled to be integrally involved in what the group […]

Patternus Interruptus

April 22, 2014 by Steve Davis 284Leave a Commenthttps%3A%2F%2Ffacilitatoru.com%2Ffacilitation%2Fpatternus-interruptus%2FPatternus+Interruptus2014-04-22+07%3A20%3A02Steve+Davishttp%3A%2F%2Ffacilitatoru.com%2F%3Fp%3D284

Groups and individuals tend to follow habitual behavior patterns to which they’ve grown comfortable over time. Therefore, there are times when it’s appropriate to help the group to slow down and look at the bigger picture, the “gestalt” of the group dynamic. As a facilitator, be on guard for patterns of behavior that are begging […]

Do You Have Imposter Syndrome?

April 15, 2014 by Steve Davis 23511 Commentshttps%3A%2F%2Ffacilitatoru.com%2Ffacilitation%2Fdo-you-have-imposter-syndrome%2FDo+You+Have+Imposter+Syndrome%3F2014-04-15+06%3A48%3A42Steve+Davishttp%3A%2F%2Ffacilitatoru.com%2F%3Fp%3D235

As it turns out, “The Imposter Syndrome” is a common affliction among successful people such as doctors, lawyers, actors, teachers, politicians; and yes, even facilitators, trainers, group leaders, and their participants. Imposter syndrome is defined as a collection of feelings of inadequacy that persist even in face of evidence to the contrary. It is experienced […]

Body Talk

Your participant’s body language never lies and can tell you a lot if you know what to look for. Of course, as facilitators, we know better than to assume anything. So as you become adept at reading body language, be careful not to use this information to fuel your assumptions. Consequently, our first tip is […]

Awakening Service as a Facilitator

Preparing yourself to do this work before it happens however, can be overlooked in light of all that goes into preparing content and processes. Spending just a few minutes prior to going into a group to clarify your intent,  motivations, and how you’ll deal internally with what comes up can truly transform your experience in a […]

March 17, 2014 by Steve Davis 2608 Commentshttps%3A%2F%2Ffacilitatoru.com%2Ffacilitation%2Fcare-and-feeding-of-the-master-facilitator%2FCare+and+Feeding+of+the+Master+Facilitator2014-03-17+05%3A52%3A32Steve+Davishttp%3A%2F%2Ffacilitatoru.com%2F%3Fp%3D260

Facilitation is a demanding role that can take its toll on you if you are not prepared at all levels. A master facilitator must have fine-tuned awareness and intuition to sense and act on the nuances of group process. She must stand tall in the face of conflict, willing to walk participants through to its […]
