Facilitation is a skill that involves guiding and supporting a group of people to achieve a common goal, while ensuring that everyone has a chance to contribute, learn, and collaborate. However, not every meeting or workshop runs smoothly, and sometimes you may encounter a participant who is not respecting others during the process. This can create a negative impact on the group dynamics, the quality of the outcomes, and your credibility as a facilitator. How can you address this challenge effectively and professionally? Here are some tips to help you deal with a disrespectful participant in a facilitative way.

1 Identify the issue

The first step is to identify what is causing the participant to act disrespectfully. Is it a lack of interest, a misunderstanding, a personal conflict, a power struggle, or something else? Sometimes, the issue may be obvious, such as when the participant is interrupting, dominating, criticizing, or mocking others. Other times, the issue may be more subtle, such as when the participant is distracted, disengaged, passive-aggressive, or sarcastic. You need to observe the participant's behavior, listen to their words, and pay attention to their body language and tone of voice. You also need to consider how their behavior is affecting the rest of the group and the objectives of the meeting.

Boa parte do nosso trabalho na facilita??o é observar detalhes sem julgamentos mas com o objetivo de identificar comportamentos e situa??es distintas.

2 Address the issue

The second step is to address the issue in a respectful and constructive way. Depending on the severity and frequency of the behavior, you may choose to do this privately or publicly, during or after the meeting. If the behavior is minor or occasional, you may try to ignore it or use humor to diffuse it. If the behavior is persistent or disruptive, you may need to intervene and remind the participant of the ground rules, expectations, and goals of the meeting. You may also need to ask them to explain their perspective, acknowledge their feelings, and invite them to share their concerns or suggestions. The key is to use open-ended questions, active listening, and positive feedback to engage the participant and encourage them to cooperate and respect others.

Devemos proporcionar um ambiente seguro onde todos s?o respeitados e têm voz. Casos mais extremos, geralmente s?o melhores resolvidos de forma individual.

3 Prevent the issue

The third step is to prevent the issue from recurring or escalating in the future. This means that you need to follow up with the participant and the group after the meeting and provide feedback, support, and guidance. You may also need to review and revise the ground rules, expectations, and goals of the meeting and communicate them clearly and consistently. You may also need to adjust your facilitation style, techniques, and tools to suit the needs and preferences of the group and the participant. For example, you may use more icebreakers, energizers, polls, or breakout rooms to increase engagement, interaction, and trust. The key is to create a safe and inclusive space where everyone can participate, learn, and collaborate effectively and respectfully.

A utiliza??o de acordos é uma op??o para evitar esse tipo de situa??o pois o grupo acaba utilizando de regras locais de convivência.

4 Learn from the issue

The fourth step is to learn from the issue and improve your facilitation skills and practice. This means that you need to reflect on your own performance, behavior, and attitude during the meeting and identify your strengths and weaknesses. You may also need to seek feedback from the participant, the group, and other facilitators or experts and learn from their insights and experiences. You may also need to research and study more about facilitation theory, methods, and best practices and apply them to your own context and situations. The key is to embrace the challenge as an opportunity to grow and develop as a facilitator and to foster a culture of respect and collaboration among your groups.

5 Seek help for the issue

The fifth step is to seek help for the issue if you cannot resolve it on your own or if it poses a serious threat to the well-being and safety of yourself, the participant, or the group. This means that you need to recognize your limitations, boundaries, and responsibilities as a facilitator and consult with other facilitators, managers, or authorities who can assist you and support you. You may also need to refer the participant to other resources, services, or professionals who can help them with their personal or professional issues. The key is to act ethically, legally, and compassionately and to protect yourself and others from harm and abuse.

6 Celebrate the success

The sixth step is to celebrate the success of the meeting and the group, regardless of the issue or the outcome. This means that you need to acknowledge and appreciate the efforts, contributions, and achievements of everyone involved and highlight the positive aspects and results of the meeting. You may also need to reward and recognize the participant who was disrespectful if they showed improvement, change, or apology. The key is to end the meeting on a high note and to foster a sense of accomplishment, satisfaction, and gratitude among yourself, the participant, and the group.
