Facilitation Comments

• "Having unbiased and professional facilitators leading our group made everyone feel that their viewpoints were listened to and valued."
• "Facilitation helped bring out all of the underlying issues; it was uncomfortable at times to hear, but very helpful."
• "With the facilitator's help, I was finally able to open up and speak more freely. The fear of addressing my issues to the group is gone and now I will address issues immediately."
• "The facilitation helped me understand different work styles and helped me gain more respect for my co-workers."
• "The facilitation helped us build an action plan for staff to better handle planning and conflicts in the future."
• "I feel strongly that the facilitators helped our group gain a real awareness of each other and helped build a more trusting and positive work environment."
• "One of the challenges within our organization is a culture that abhors direct communication about conflicts and prefers the 'behind the back' method. This facilitation has helped us start changing that culture. I think we all saw how damaging it has been and I feel we have learned skills here that will enable us to communicate directly and promptly when conflicts arise."
