A Brief overview of The Art, of Facilitating self-Determination=

The Art of Facilitating Self-Determination is a five-day personal and professional

development workshop that deepens our understanding of human motivation, strengthens our capacity to make connections, and focuses the mindfulness with which we facilitate the freely chosen growth and development of others. Whether

• ne is working with groups, working with individuals, or striving to better support

self-determination within one's family, The Art of FacíIitating Self-Determinationwill clarifii the principles behind facilitating change, help grow personal self-awareness

and deepen intentionality, and provide practical experience in the role of the

• facilitator. Two-day workshops (without practicums) are also available.

The Art of FacíIitatíng Self-Determination is based on decades of observation of a

wide range of formal and informal human efforts to influence change in others, through which we have learned about what helps, what doesn't help and what hurts.

Our observations validate Self-Determination Theor¡ verif,i the strong influence of

a facilitator's mindset and worldview, and confirm the importance of intentionality

in all we say and do in our role as facilitators. We have learned that:

€ Our human potential is to flourish. e We are all capable of flourishing because we all possess deep-rooted and

keenly evolved tendencies toward growth and development.

s Our potential to flourish can be nourished, or it can be undermined. e Our potential is most fully realized when growth and development are freely

chosen and when self-determination is intentionally fostered through

supportive social, cultural and environmental conditions.

The Art of Facílítating Self-Determinatíon grew out of the understanding that every

engagement with another person presents us with the opportunity to be a nurturing influence rather than a managing director. Where we nurture, natural healthy

growth occurs-Ín its own way and at its own pace. Where we attempt to steer or

manage growth, natural resistance distorts it and harms the human soul.

well negond Recoverg, f nc. PageZo{ 6

The Art of Facilitatíng Self-Determinotionharnesses our iatural human motivation

and potential to flourish-we all have a natural tendency to seek out challenges, the

unfamiliar, and opportunities to learn-and we seek to integrate what we learn from the world around us into a meaningful whole throughout our lives. The Art of Facilitating Self-Determination is the "art" of working with our basic human needs for connectedness, autonomy, and competence without getting in the way of any individual's choices in creating the life he or she wants. The Five-Day Seminar:

To facilitate self-determina-tion is to enter into relationships with others in ways

that stimulate critical thinking wíthoutfixing, saving, advising or setting the other straight, so it cannot be "taught" like History. This is an interactive seminar where the learning is mutual and new knowledge emerges from the group during open yet

focused discussion s. The Art of Facilítatíng Self-Determination is about growing self- awareness through reflection, learning to sit with discomfort, and becoming

intentional in all we say and do. Therefore the workshop facilitates the growth of

each participant's personal experiential understanding of self:determination and

the art of facilitation. The following is a much-condensed overview of the fourteen modules that make up the workshop:

In Module Ane, What's This AII AboutT we explore:

O The concepts of "Facilitation" and "self-determination' O The role of the facilitator in easing this process of self-determination.

people to grow in their own way, at their own pace.

In Module Two, Feeling Safe and Valued,we explore:

O How the practical foundation of facilitating self-determination is a learning

environment that fosters feelings of safety and being valued, which the facilitator

is responsible for creating and maintaining.

O The importance of anticipating that people bear some woundedness from Life,

but their woundedness is not an expression of weakness; carrying on, bearing

their many wounds, demonstrates their profound strength.

O The importance of having everything we say and do demonstrate the value we

place on others and their contributions,

well begond Recoverg, lnc. Page) o[ 6

In Module Three, "Thís I Believe," we explore:

O The importance of knowing what we stand for and the necessity of leaving room

for the beliefs of others when we express what we think we "know."

O The importance of remembering that speaking our own truths isn't about being

"right" or about making others appear "wrong" because they see things

• differently. We each have a piece of the truth.

O .The importance of remembering there isn't one right way to respond when we

feel challenged by the "truth" of another. we simply stay grounded in suspending all judgments and in valuing the other.

In Module Four, Prínciples That Govern RelationshÍps, we explore:

O The concept of príncíples that govern human relations, and how valuesthat can

reliably guide our facilitation are deeply rooted in these governing principles.

• How our worldvíew shapes our choices and can even mislead them, but

governing principles determine their consequences.

• How a clear understanding of "true north" principles can help us avoid the

negative consequences of violating principles and enjoy the benefits of adhering to them.

In Module Five, Intentionality,we explore:

O How effective facilitators are fully intentional (i,e., purposeful) about everything

we say and do, which means we are fully present and mindful with others, and give our full attention to our task and to the total environment we work in.

O How intentionality isn't an ordinary state of mind and can easily be undermined

by "default settings," assumptions or an unreliable worldview/mindset.

O How "conveying what we intend" depends on understanding how we

communicate and on making our non-verbal communication as intentional as

• ur choice of words and tone.

In Module Six, Síttíng With Discomfort,we explore:

C How our role is to ease a process that can make others feel uneasy, and howthis

requires the facilitator to sit with considerable discomfort, surroúnded by multiple sources of un-ease

well regond Recoverg, lnc.

Page* o{ 6

O What our own experience teaches us about sources of personal discomfort and

about which tools can best help us sit with discomfort as we pursue our goals, and the worth going through discomfort to get the benefits on the other side.

O How the essenc e of sitting with discomfort involves connecting with goals that

motivate us, and embracing discomfort as an acceptable cost of achieving them. In Module Seven, Resísting Temptationto Fin Save or Advtse, we explore:

O How the desire to alleviate the suffering of others is natural and noble, yet fixing,

car;inq anrì arh¡isins have been demonstrated to undermine self-determination.

O How through practice it is possible to learn to sit with discomfort, resist the

temptation to fix, save and advise others, and instead validate the feelings of

thoJe who ask for fixing, saving or advising but leave choice to the individual'

O How through practice, we can learn to support well-informed self-determination

by staying true to our clearly defined role as facilitators.

In Module Eight Growing Self-Awareness, we explore:

O How, in order to facilitate self-determination for others, we are first obliged to

grow our own self-awareness aroun d how we know whatwe know and all the

l"y".t of cuìture, assumption, prejudice, and irrational belief we may hold.

O How companions who share our journey and regard us as mutual supporters can

challenge us to reflect and to grow our self-awareness through honest (non- r rr - -\ --- ^-À:^-- ^-l rL^-^L.. ^+i*,,I^+^ ,/-,'nnnnf tlra ¡ractinn nf lraffor filfllrpc lgaulnBj qugsLlutrs, ¿illu LIItrr euy )LrrrrLrraLç/ ruPHwr L L¡ru L¡ vqL¡v¡r

O How, no matter how seii-aware we become, there are things like poverty,

violence and oppression that can hold anyone back, so ultimately growing our self-awareness extends to exploring how we are working for social justice.

In Module Nine, Re'Storyíng Our Introductions,we explore:

O How, in introducing ourselves, we also introduce the information we represent,

the dffirence this material has made in our lives, and how the concept of self-

determination is tied to the choices we make.

O How people will judge the as yet unknown information we are about to present

by what ihey first see in us, and how they will also judge the possibili6u of self.

determination by what they see of it in us'

well negond Recoverg, fnc. ?ageJ o{ 6

C How effective introductions offer a glimpse of past struggle, a clear picture of a

better presen! and a strong sense of the brighter future that the information is helping us create for ourselves-and how a great introduction then welcomes people into a shared journey toward brighter futures. In Module Ten, Presentation.s/<itls and Practices, we explore:

C How the information we present is first a resource worthy of consideration and

a sufficient reason for bringing people together, and then it provides an

• pportunity to learn from our own experience and from each other,

O How presenting information as potentiaþ useful stimulates the hearer's critical

faculties, encouraging them to carefully weigh what they hear and decide for themselves whether this new information is indeed personally useful.

O How we don't need to sell anything, because the value of what we are presenting

is well expressed through our careful and knowledgeable organization of the

material, through our sincerity, and through our obvious enthusiasm for it.

In Module Eleven, F

acilitatíon As IJ nc onditional valuing,we explore:

O The importance of centering our facilitation on uncondítíonal valuing and the

need to understand a variety of practical means to put it into practiCe.

O The importance of being mindfully presen! seeking always to understand the

• ther, and clearly expressing what we understand and learn from the other.

O How we can give people time to express their views and then validate them by

showÍng that we see their value, and how this depends on filtering out any judgment that comes from our own prejudices.

In Module Twelve, Facilitating The Emergence of New Knowledge, we explore:

C How passion for our own information and our concern that people understand it

can result in "teaching" our piece of the truth as Truth, which invariably gets in

the way of easing access to all the options.

O How we create opportunities for listening to multiple perspectives when we:

very briefly preview our topic; concisely presentkey points and illustrations that show how the information matters to us;facilitate a discussion that invites the expression of alternative perspectives by others and allows new knowledge to emerge; and, close with a concise summaty that includes the input of others.

well begond Recoverg, lnc. eage6 o{ 6

O How, if we spen d. no more than 25o/o of our time on preview, presentation and

summary, and no morethanZío/o anour illustrations and offering our own perspective, we will have no less than 50o/o of our time left for facilitating a rich discussion from which everyone learns sornething new.

In Module Thirteen, Attendíng And Responding,we explore:

O How seeing people on the raw edge of emotional distress can knockanyone off

their emotional center, and how it can knock us out of the role of facilitator.

O How important it is to have a realistic picture of certain scenarios facilitators are

likely to face and a sense of how others and we might personally respond to distress in similar situations.

O How important it is to know one's own strengths as revealed through practice'

In Module Fourteen, Essential Elements,we summarize the essential elements of a

week's learning about facilitating self-determination with individuals and groups. Summary: In the end, becoming a Facilitator of Self-Determination is a matter of who we choose to be, rather than a matter of special skill sets or techniques we acquire. Techniques are what people use until the real facilitator emerges.
