Skillful facilitation resembles a tap dance, shuffle, and tango all performed simultaneously to the unique rhythm of each group. The purpose is simple --- to help the group reach its goals by utilizing its own experience and strengths. The facilitator focuses the group's energy, encourages open discussion, and guides the meeting to a defined end. The role of facilitator requires knowledge and experience in meeting management, group dynamics, moderating discussion, asking the right questions, and group decision making. The skilled facilitator frees the group to focus on the task at hand without worrying about the process.

- Develop a profile of the group
