The use of facilitators has grown significantly, and facilitation skills are essential critical skills to have for success more so than it was back in 1985. Tidbit: Today, I seldom explain what I do. Back then, a ‘hitman’ was referred to as a ‘facilitator’ so it was necessary for me to do so.
I now have many clients and competitors, many of whom I trained, who are now on their own. Tidbit: The IAF went from 150 members attending the first conference in Denver in 1994 to over 2000 members today. Congratulations!
