Editorial Reviews

Product Description
The Art of Facilitation provides a superb training resource for facilitators and enables group members to understand facilitation and to take on this role themselves. It also provides access to the source of group empowerment and shows how to create group synergy.

Divided into four major components, this book will give you the insight, tools and resources you need to help your group work easily and more effectively together.

Provides an in-depth examination of the art of intervention and cooperative beliefs and values underlying facilitation for creating group synergy.

The toolkit includes facilitative designs for workshops, meetings, projects and evaluations; facilitative processes of being with a group, working with other individuals, keeping sight of the group's vision and goals, empowerment, identity, role playing and more. Plus, a Facilitators' Training Program.

A personal perspective on facilitation through interviews with experienced facilitators.

About the Author
Authors Dale Hunter, Anne Bailey, and Bill Taylor are all experienced facilitators. Their first book, The Zen of GroupsThe Handbook for People Meeting With a Purpose, has been warmly accepted internationally.

5.0 out of 5 stars Distinguishing Facilitation Powerfully and Simply, March 30, 2000
The Art of Facilitation is written in simple language. It cuts through the academic tendency to complicate this domain, and in doing so displays the authors mastery of it.

The Art of Facilitation elucidates what it takes to facilitate groups powerfully and provides pathways, tools and processes for this.

This book will provide people new to facilitation with an intellectual analysis of it and old hands clear pathways to doing complex things simply. I use it all the time as a resource in my pratice as a professional facilitator and it is the required text in facilitator training courses which I lead for Zenergy.

I would also recommend Hunter et al's other books: Co-operacy, The Zen of Groups, The Essence of Facilitation.

4.0 out of 5 stars New Facilitators must read!, March 27, 2000
By Lynn Voss or Elizabeth Voss (Springfield, MO USA) - See all my reviews
The Art of Facilitation is a must read for new facilitators or trainers. It is easy to read and offers practical advice and activities for newcomers to the field of facilitation. This is one of the few facilitation books to offer a chapter on facilitating yourself. Not as advanced as other facilitation books (Masterful Facilitation or Facilitator's Guide to Particiapatory Decision Making) but recommend this as part of any facilitator's library of resources.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great guide for "first time" facilitators!, September 14, 1998
By A Customer
I have found this book a great resource to augment the training of first time facilitators and coaches. It provides many practical exercises, with numerous tips that help to demystify facilitation and increase the first time facilitator's success.
