FACILITATOR PRACTICAL HANDBOOK

Peer Facilitator Philosophy

  • Relationships are everything; we need deep, honest, and authentic relationships with all of the people we engage with in our role as a facilitator.
  • Conversation, challenge, creativity and collaboration are the edges of all of the relationships in the future.
  • A person with lived experience is the expert; as facilitators we need to get to our learning edge and get them to theirs: we are thinking equals.
  • Risk is shared in the adventure to explore the future, and it is ok to be vulnerable.
  • We are the work, we are the impact, we are the role models.
  • Inquire, inquire, inquire, listen, listen, listen.
