The Myth of Neutrality: Facilitation as a Catalyst for Change Facilitators are often expected to be neutral—calm, steady, guiding conversations without personal investment, like some kind of meeting fairy  godparent. But let’s be honest—none of us are truly neutral. The way we structure conversations shapes who gets heard, who holds power, and whether  anything actually changes.

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!
