Whether you’re a new or experienced program leader, there are always lots of questions.
Indeed, as I look back over the course of my 34+ year career, I note that many of my own questions could be readily filed under the heading of ‘facilitator tips & strategies.’
Common Facilitator Questions
My book Serious Fun (published in 2014) tackled twenty of the most pressing of these facilitation-type questions.
Ten years later, it’s no surprise that training participants continue to ask these questions, too.
They include: “How do I…”
- Break the ice effectively?
- Design a successful program?
- Get started?
- Set goals with my groups?
- Conduct an effective debrief?
- Make debriefs engaging & fun?
- Keep my groups focused?
- Know when to stop an activity?
- Divide large groups into smaller groups?
- Break up cliques?
- Manage people who arrive late?
- Remember names?
- Manage people who don’t get along?
- Know if I’m using the right activity at the right time?
… and many dozens more.
