Greetings Fellow Facilitators!

Status on our first Facilitator's Guide on Full Participation.

We just launched our first guide yesterday and have been receiving an enthusiastic response. Thanks to all of you who helped on this!

Seeking input for next guide.

Our next guide will be, "Intervene with Confidence." This guide will explore the skill of group intervention and provide a number of useful and practical strategies to make this easier for facilitators.

To refresh your memory, the Facilitator Guides will be rich sources of information and practical advice and startegies that can be applied to special situations that facilitators encounter in their day-to-day work. For example, future guides will involve, building trust, building team, starting and ending groups, handling conflict, virtual facilitation, etc...

Please help us with our next guide by answering the following questions. Those of you who contribute material that we end up using in the guide, will receive a free copy of the finished guide.

Here's what we need to know:

- How do you define "Intervention" in groups?

- When is it appropriate to intervene?

- When is it not appropriate?

- What are some guidelines or strategies you use to intervene?

- Do you have any simple models or "rules of thumb" you use to help you decide when and how to intervene?

- Do you have any favorite language you use to initiate interventions?

- Do you have any stories or examples to share on this subject?

Thanks very much for your support!

Warmest regards,
