Take-Aways

  • A "facilitated" workshop is a forum for sharing ideas, making simple decisions and collaborating to devise solutions.
  • A "facilitator" is an unbiased leader who helps participants reach their mutually agreed-upon objectives.
  • The facilitator must know about any psychological issues affecting the workshop.

    Very basic, but it serves well as a great refresher/reinforcement that some simple disciplines can make a big impact
