Facilitation and Meeting Skills

Meetings are a necessary part of working in any group – they give us the chance to share information, to reach decisions and to get jobs done. But meetings have another important function, which is often forgotten about – group maintenance. A good meeting not only gets work done, it also involves, supports and empowers its participants, creating a high level of energy and enthusiasm. A sense of community and connection to fellow group members is the basis for successful group work. Good facilitation will help you to achieve all of this.
