Read chapter 4 of THE SOLUTION PATH (TSP) on Facilitation in its entirety. Then choose your top lesson on this chapter and post it here: each lesson must have a title, the lesson, and an example (from the TSP book, your personal or professional life, or fictitious but fully credible).

To reiterate from before, here is an example that works:

===========================================================================================================================

Title: Positive thinking and solutions

Lesson: When you think positively, you develop solutions for your problems

Example: When I completed my doctoral degree, the economy was facing a downturn. There were hardly any jobs and competition was fierce. I decided to forge forward anyway. I focused on the very clients who needed services due to the downturn. As a result, I had the great opportunity of partnering with dozens of clients helping them to reenergize their companies.

============================================================================================================================

Important! Your lessons MUST be:

• Simple points rather than multiple/complex point themes that need lots of time to be explained (like facilitator, facilitation, personality type etc)
• Clear with all terms defined

It is even better if your lessons are:

• Actionable (if X or when X, then Y)
• Stated in the affirmative (what you do rather what you don’t do)

Make sure that your LESSON works!

Several terms in this chapter are complex and cannot be used effectively such as facilitator, facilitation, active listening etc. You would need lots of time to explain these terms to someone who is not taking our class. And that is not a good communication practice. So break these large concepts in smaller chunks or define terms so you can use them. For example you can use active listening by defining it: listening fully without any judgments. Make sure your lessons include terms that are fully defined and do not need a long lecture so others can follow them.

Your EXAMPLE must be directly related to the lesson. Reflect on your personal/professional life. How have YOU experienced this lesson in your life? What happened? Briefly describe how it allowed you to experience this lesson. Make sure not to introduce any new terms that are not related to your lesson.
