Was sind Facilitation Skills?

In order to become a good facilitator, certain skills, i.e. abilities, are necessary. It is not possible to say exactly what these skills are - after all, they are also subjectively perceived aspects.

However, the following skills are frequently cited as success factors:

• Mindset: It is important to be aware that you are merely the companion, i.e. the guide, in the process and not the classic moderator who dictates the course of events.
• Keep to the schedule: Time management is of great importance for good support of the group.
• Motivate groups: Good facilitators take care to maintain the energy level of the groups and thus ensure that the participants remain engaged.
• Dealing effectively with troublemakers: Good preparation is the key to harnessing the troublemaker's energy.
