Facilitation Helps You Work Through Complex Issues

Facilitation is helping a group reach its goal. It differs from training in that facilitation helps participants to discover the answers and best course of action for themselves. Training imparts knowledge, while facilitation helps people think through the issues, evaluate and choose the best course of action.
