What Skills Should A Facilitator Have?

To guide the group effectively, a facilitator should:

  • Help everyone feel valued and heard.
  • Show kindness, understanding, and listen carefully without judgment.
  • Share ideas but don’t push personal views onto others.
  • Offer personal experiences to help with discussions when appropriate.
  • Keep the discussion focused and on track.
  • Show up regularly and follow through on promises.
  • Know how important their role is in helping the group.
  • Stay involved regularly to build trust and support good group dynamics. Frequent changes can make it hard for members to feel secure.
