Facilitator’s Nightmares

As facilitators, we want to be helpful. Whether our stakeholders aim for a strategic direction workshop, a transformation exercise or a team build, we want to enable discussions that are effective and generate outcomes as intended by the group. However, things can go out of hands at times. In this 90-minute session, we will share a few facilitator’s nightmares. By reliving a few of them, perhaps we can all learn how to dissolve them before we run into them again.

Did you ever encounter any of these?

• Client/sponsor hostile taking over
• Emotional burst of one or more participants
• Participants get into argument
• Dissonance among the co-facilitators
