Trade #7 Dynamic Facilitator 10 hours of service.

Dynamic Facilitation is the essence of leadership, where one person helps others face difficult issues creatively and collaboratively and achieve unanimous, win/win solutions. It achieves this magic by eliciting a nonlinear, heartfelt, transformational quality of thinking called “choice-creating” — vs. “decision-making” or “problem-solving” or “creative problem-solving.”Dynamic Facilitation doesn’t require that participants learn new steps or commit to certain behaviors. People can just be themselves. The dynamic facilitator works with each person’s natural inclinations and genius, helping all come together with a better solution in faster time. In addition, the process builds trust and new levels of capability. It’s different than traditional forms of facilitation.

This process is appropriate many different areas like … teams, conflict resolution, transformational leadership, communication, education, personal transformation, community dialogue, innovation, trust-building, coaching, and especially for addressing impossible issues. Also, it opens new doors of possibility for democracy and society through the “Wisdom Council“.
