Facilitators must balance a unique range of essential skills and facilitation techniques, like the ability to maintain technical knowledge, actionable strategies, and methodologies alongside the people skills to handle different personalities. Above all, good facilitators are adaptable, able to think on the fly and understand that every meeting, workshop, or session is unique. Facilitators should also have an inclusive and empathetic approach to create a truly welcoming and safe environment for all participants, no matter their background or purpose in that session.
