由人工智能和领英社区提供技术支持

Co-facilitation can be a powerful way to enhance the quality and impact of your workshops, trainings, or meetings. It can also be a challenging and stressful experience if you and your co-facilitator are not on the same page, or worse, competing for attention, authority, or recognition. How can you prevent co-facilitation from becoming competitive and instead foster a collaborative and supportive relationship? Here are some tips to help you co-facilitate effectively and harmoniously.

1 Clarify roles and expectations

Before you co-facilitate, make sure you have a clear and explicit agreement with your co-facilitator about your respective roles, responsibilities, and expectations. Discuss how you will divide the tasks, time, and space, and how you will support each other during the session. Define your learning objectives, agenda, methods, and materials, and align them with your co-facilitator's style and preferences. Establish some ground rules and norms for communication, feedback, and conflict resolution. Having a shared understanding and vision will help you avoid confusion, duplication, or contradiction.

I find it helpful to go beyond establishing roles and sharing what aspects of the content we really love to deliver. Is there a topic that we feel we need support in delivering? Discuss your philosophies and approaches to facilitation - what aspects are you working to improve? Or a new technique you want to try - engage the co-facilitator in a collaborative approach to not just what you are providing to the participants, but also your own learning goals. Get curious about your co-faciliator - what are you excited to learn from them? What gifts might you share with them? How can you lift each other up to provide the most engaging and inspired session for participants?

A co-facilita??o deve ser um processo colaborativo e n?o de competi??o, quem fala mais ou fala mais alto. Para isso, é preciso deixar claro esse ponto. O objetivo é encontrar solu??es para um determinado problema ou quest?o da empresa. E n?o ver aquele que tem melhor ideias. Ou seja, logo no início da reuni?o, do encontro entre profissionais, é preciso deixar claro que se trata de "colabora??o" e para o bem de todos e todas, n?o do autor da ideia ou sugest?o.

To prevent co-facilitation from becoming competitive, establish clear roles and goals beforehand, ensuring both facilitators understand their responsibilities and areas of expertise. Foster open communication and mutual respect between facilitators, emphasizing collaboration over competition. Encourage regular check-ins to address any emerging tensions and ensure alignment with the session's objectives. Emphasize the importance of teamwork and shared success, highlighting the benefits of complementary skills and perspectives. Establishing a supportive and inclusive environment where facilitators prioritize the group's needs over personal agendas helps mitigate competitiveness and fosters effective collaboration.

It is beyond establishing shared goals and outlining the ground rules ...Clearly outline who will lead certain segments or activities and how decisions will be made collaboratively. Always discuss one's strengths and weaknesses and play with it ..

A facilita??o fala de colabora??o e a colabora??o deve come?ar já pelas pessoas facilitadoras. Possibilitar um ambiente de troca e aprendizagem mútua garante um espa?o rico e autêntico para constru??o de um ambiente seguro. Em cenários de co-facilita??o, gosto muito de utilizar o alinhamento de expectativas e escopo de trabalho onde podemos combinar as políticas de atua??o para a facilita??o.

2 Communicate regularly and openly

Communication is key to successful co-facilitation. Keep in touch with your co-facilitator before, during, and after the session, and share your thoughts, feelings, and concerns. Check in with each other frequently and update each other on any changes, issues, or feedback. Listen actively and respectfully to your co-facilitator's ideas, opinions, and suggestions, and acknowledge their contributions and strengths. Express your appreciation and gratitude for their support and cooperation. Avoid making assumptions, judgments, or criticisms that could damage your relationship or undermine your credibility.

Collaborate on session planning and preparation to ensure both co-facilitators have equal input and ownership of the process. Allocate time for joint brainstorming, agenda development, and resource preparation.

O bom de ter encontros co-facilitados é o complemento de informa??es possibilitando o enriquecimento da jornada. Também conseguimos desenvolver novas habilidades e apoiar nossos pares com suas habilidades mais fracas, quando necessário. Ao longo do processo de facilita??o, é interessante que a gente vá trocando informa??es e se comunicando com frequência para que nada saia do eixo e, caso saia, possamos ajustar rapidamente.

3 Complement and balance each other

Co-facilitation is not a competition, but a collaboration. Instead of trying to outshine or dominate your co-facilitator, try to complement and balance each other's skills, personalities, and perspectives. Recognize and respect your differences and similarities, and leverage them to create a richer and more diverse learning experience. For example, if one of you is more outgoing and energetic, and the other is more reserved and reflective, you can alternate between leading and following, or between engaging and observing. If one of you is more experienced or knowledgeable in a certain topic, you can share your expertise and invite your co-facilitator to ask questions or add insights.

Be intentional that you are a TEAM - you will succeed (or not!) together. Also ensure that there isn't an intentional, or unintentional reason for competition. The more you can celebrate each other, the more successful you'll be. It is also great modeling for the participants in the room - they get to see firsthand what effective partnership looks like.

4 Coordinate and adapt

Co-facilitation requires coordination and adaptation. You need to be able to work as a team and adjust to the changing needs and dynamics of the group and the situation. Plan ahead and prepare for different scenarios, but also be flexible and responsive to what emerges during the session. Use verbal and non-verbal cues, such as eye contact, gestures, or keywords, to signal your intentions, transitions, or interventions. Be ready to step in or step back, depending on what your co-facilitator or the participants need. Be supportive and constructive, not disruptive or contradictory.

5 Co-learn and co-grow

Co-facilitation is not only a way to deliver a session, but also a way to learn and grow as a facilitator. You can benefit from your co-facilitator's feedback, insights, and experiences, and also offer yours. Reflect on your co-facilitation process and outcomes, and identify what worked well and what could be improved. Celebrate your successes and learn from your challenges. Seek opportunities to co-facilitate again, and explore new ways to enhance your co-facilitation skills and relationship. Co-facilitation can be a rewarding and enjoyable journey, if you approach it with curiosity, openness, and respect.
