ABSTRACT

Facilitators face different challenges, particularly when they work in teams. The strength polarities provide insights into the pathways of holding a space and creating transformation. Integrating these polarities enables the ideal state of facilitation, which is all about creating the right energy in the room. The capability to be Structured consists of the ability of consciously facilitating powerful spaces of transformation. The journey for the strength is to overcome the limitation to be too strict on what was planned to being able to maintain one’s focus on what is important while being able to step back to see the larger picture. A skilled facilitator is able to integrate these strengths, can both plan the interventions that are needed and be able to be adaptive to what is needed, and as a result, move the group toward transformative spaces.
