Hi … to get the ball rolling … I selected #10) Increase participant self-esteem >>> one of the three blocks affecting many people in the workplace is 'self-doubt'. Through awesome facilitating, the facilitators have the ways and means to engage everyone in great dialogues-discussions. Through such experiences people can ease themselves into a different frames of reference about their role and participation – whereby they challenge their beliefs and assumptions about self. *** Awesome facilitating plus great experiences equals engaged staff! ***
