Você enfrentou um revés em sua carreira de facilitador. Como você pode transformá-lo em um trampolim para o sucesso?

Facilitation can be such a personal skill as you're the vehicle and voice to the group, large or small. When you do face a setback, it can really hit you hard, but there are a few ways through it. 1. Acknowledge that you're not perfect. We all have ups and downs. 2. Get some perspective. Is there a trusted peer or colleague that could give you honest feedback, coaching or advice? 3. What are 2-3 smaller things you can do in the moment to get better? Get a little momentum with some small wins. 4. Be kind to yourself. We learn and grow all the time. 4. Be k

Are we talking about a specific event or chronic problems? One way to stay ahead of the game at specific events is to have a good understanding of any underlying context that could throw you off. Have there recently been a lot of layoffs? Is there an issue at play that is making people not want to be in the same room? These are things that can impact how things go and if something happened at a specific event maybe that's why

What is the setback? Is it finding opportunity or is it dealing with a challenging group? Understanding helps to tailor the response

Some techniques work with most groups but some can be thrown off depending on numbers, or even room set up (e.g. how will you write on flip paper on walls if there are no walls?). Have a range of activities that you can choose from and pull out if/when needed

Setbacks are setups for success. You will fall a lot but you will also succeed. Choose where you want to linger- on your failed attempts or on how you moved on from those. In facilitation, you're putting yourself out there. You'll meet many different people with different views. Some will appreciate you and others will challenge you. The only way for you to move on from a tough session and to keep doing what you’re doing is to know that tomorrow might be a tough day, or it could be a good one. Acceptance is the fastest way to progress. Remember why you're in this line of work.
