Synopsis

Most people running meetings have never been taught to facilitate. They talk, they present, they manage the clock — but they do not move the group. The Facilitation Standard gives managers, trainers, and team leads a practical system for leading conversations that produce decisions, alignment, and action. Jon Edwards, M.Ed., draws on his instructional design background and years of leading high-stakes team discussions to deliver a no-filler facilitation framework for the real working world. What you will learn: The difference between facilitating and presenting — and why it changes everything. How to design a session that gets to an outcome, not just a discussion. Techniques for managing dominant voices, silent rooms, and derailed conversations. How to close every session with clear next steps and ownership. A facilitation approach that works for teams, workshops, and one-on-ones alike. Part of The Professional Standards Series — direct, practitioner-tested frameworks with no filler.
