The Successful Facilitator


It is a mistake to assume that any human being with good will can be an effective facilitator.  Personality characteristics alone are not sufficient for successful leadership.  Basic skills must be learned and practiced. Leadership skills can be taught however leaders must decide how and when to use these skills.  The ability to use these skills effectively and sensitively is the result of supervised experience, practice, feedback and confidence. Over the next few weeks, I will discuss important attributes that make up a successful facilitator.   Again, these skills are necessary, but not sufficient for effective leadership. Unless the leader is the kind of person that clients will want to emulate, he or she will not be successful.

Willingness to Model

One of the best ways to teach desired behaviors is by modeling those behaviors in the group.  Group leaders should not expect the participants to do anything that they as leaders are not willing to do.  Thus, if leaders value disclosure, honesty, positive risk-taking, openness and listening with respect, it is important that they show respect for members by doing those same things.  Being a good listener, revealing appropriate facts about themselves, demonstrating positive risk-taking behavior, and honestly expressing what they think and feel about their experiences as the group unfolds helps create a safe atmosphere for participants to be fully present.
