Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating: - Very Helpful Book
This book contains a lot of helpful ideas. If you are new to facilitation it will give you an excellent start and you will probably refer to it many times for ideas. If you are an experienced facilitator, I think you will find many new ideas here. This one of the few books of this type where I actually read the entire book, cover to cover. Well worth the price and the time to read it.
Rating:  - Great read for the novice facilitator
The secrets of facilitation is a great account of what experienced facilitators should already know. I did not find the book to possess any new secrets or tricks of the trade, however, it is a must read for the novice facilitator.
Rating: - Facilitation Results
A great book for those engaged in facilitation. It is well written and easy to understand. It is one of the better books I've found on the topic. The reason for 4 start instead of 5 is the price of the book. Books that would compliment this are "Leading Through Collaboration" and Leading Groups to Solutions: A Practical Guide for Facilitators and Team Members
Rating: - SMART Facilitation - A very good read
Well written -- brief and to the point. Valuable even if you only read the first and last chapters. If you think you want to work on Facilitation skills -- get this book!
Rating: - Good book to teach facilitation techniques
This book starts with good real time situations to describe the common problems in facilitation and how to overcome them. It helps both beginners and serious facilitators. Through a series of real life examples it teaches the best practices for effective facilitation.
