New! The 9 Disciplines of a Facilitator - Jon C. Jenkins and Maureen R. Jenkins

Subtitled “Leading Groups by Transforming Yourself”, The 9 Disciplines of a Facilitator explores the self-mastery it takes to become a great facilitator.

Facilitation is more than a process or a set of techniques for managing groups. The authors draw on original work of the Institute of Cultural Affairs to detail the nine personal disciplines of effective facilitators, divided into three developmental pathways - regarding others, regarding yourself, and regarding the world.
