When was your first facilitation moment?
When did you have the first feeling that you successfully conducted a team?
For me, it was 10 years ago.
It was a break-out group charged with planning out a complex scenario. There were about 30 experts in the room.
I was the youngest by far, and I was intimidated.
As the discussion started, things seemed on track. But very quickly, as engineers are want to do, they were diving down detailed paths and bickering over minutiae.
It was painful because we weren't really meeting the intent.
After 30 minutes of this, I had to speak up.
I informed the group that we were well off track and that we needed to revisit our purpose there.
After some stunned silence, the "team leader" agreed and brought the group back on track.
While that moment may seem small to some, it was momentous to me.
I experienced the directive clout that a facilitator brought to a room... Even a room of 20 to 30 year veterans!
I've observed that good facilitative leaders:
✅ Sense the room
✅ Speak with conviction
✅ Hold people accountable
