Facilitation is a multisyllabic word with complex and simple meanings. What is it? Why is it important? What makes it an essential skill for leaders?
In this session, I interview THE Master Facilitator, Michael Wilkinson, who will explain the answer to those questions as he outlines the “8 Core Practices of Facilitative Leaders.”
Bio
Michael “The Facilitator” Wilkinson founded Leadership Strategies, the largest professional facilitation company in the United States. He is the author of seven books on facilitation, including the “8 Core Practices of Facilitative Leaders.” Michael is one of the founders of the International Institute for Facilitation (INIFAC) and a member of the International Facilitation Hall of Fame.
Since learning about the power of facilitation 30 years ago, he has helped tens of thousands of leaders from organizations around the globe use facilitation to achieve amazing results, including the largest construction company in Australia, a UK car auction company, and the government of Jamaica to create their 10-year strategic plan.
Michael is THE knowledge source when it comes to leadership through facilitation!

Leadership Quote
“When you use a facilitative approach to solving problems, making decisions, and so on, you get better decisions, better results, and MUCH higher levels of buy-in and commitment. Facilitation works... IF you work it!” – Michael Wilkinson
