Use the power point slides to facilitate more conversation and ask questions rather than lecturing. Information sharing is great and it is necessary to allow folks to come to their own conclusions, but at times you spent too much time delivering information and guiding people to conclusions.

What aspects of this Skill could the facilitator improve? Please give examples.
The information you shared was very good. As you become more familiar with the information it may not be necessary to read from your notes so much. You want to make connections with the participants.
Allow for silence. When you ask a question, don't be afraid to let it sit with the participants for a moment; many may need some time to process what you asked.
Try to avoid leading questions and statements. For example, in some of your statements and questions you seemed to assume that all people are opposed to bias. Perhaps there were some who think bias is a good thing. We want to be sure these people have an opportunity to express their thoughts in a safe way.
