Role

The main goal of the "KESCON" facilitator is to drawout and impart insight, knowledge and understanding from the group members by using different skills, tools, exercises and natural abilities to keep the group focussed, aligned and moving smoothly forward to achieve the set outcome(s) of the facilitation intervention.

The facilitator recognizes that each group member will be:

• The expert of his/her own experience(s).
• Equal to all the other group participants including the facilitator.

Responsibilities

• To ensure that every group member is given the opportunity to have his/her ideas and f eelings expressed.
• To keep the intervention moving in a direction that produces a product without rushing the group - e.g. a decision, a plan, a proposal, or a brainstorm.
• To ensure and maintain a safe and respectful group environment where the group has taken ownership of what safety and respect mean to them.
