Facilitation Made Easy provides a practical introduction to the essential skills needed and will help readers develop a facilitation style that is unbiased and enables control without being overpowering.

Understand the facilitator's role

Develop the ideal structure for workshops and meetings

Control agendas and help to focus the outcome of meetings

Deal with difficulties.
