What aspects of this Skill did you think the facilitator did exceptionally well? Please give examples.
Asking questions to start conversation was excellent. We want folks to come to their own conclusions about the material and asking questions of the participants helps to draw out their thoughts and impressions.
Great flow in moving things along when moments of silence occurred organically (always great to have people share and still have to keep things moving without cutting anyone off; very well done)
You are authentic and that shines through in your facilitation. This also helps others feel like they can be authentically themselves.
Great use of stacking when Kristin-Luana and Otto both started speaking at the same time.
Great linkages to comments made by other participants and to material from previous skills.
Appropriate introduction of intersectionality and how that fits with impartiality, bias and common humanity.
