The Facilitator’s Role
As the facilitator, my responsibility is to ensure we work well together and meet the objectives of the meeting. In order to do that, there may be times when I invite you to participate, ask you to clarify comments, or stop the discussion if it is getting off track or running over time.

Meeting Agreements Allow participants the opportunity to consider
productive behaviours. Provide the opportunity to acknowledge and
discuss issues or negative behaviours. Clarify participants’ expectations of one another. Emphasize that the success of the meeting is a
shared responsibility. Create group guidelines for the facilitator to lead
the group more effectively.

the decisions – making it work.• “We decided” vs. “They decided”• Making it a priority.• Allocating resources to it.• Following through on commitments
