Don't just say it - Facilitate it ft. Meg Bolger

My recent conversation with Meg Bolger, the creator of Facilitator Cards, provided a fascinating look into the world of facilitation, its underlying principles, and practical applications. Meg shared the accidental origin of Facilitator Cards from a need to rapidly plan a facilitation training, emphasising the crucial distinction between content and process. We delved into the design and purpose of the cards as a distilled guide for facilitators of all levels, organised by colour-coded categories that often mirror the flow of a meeting. Drawing on her extensive experience in social justice education, Meg offered valuable insights into facilitating tough conversations, including the "ACT" framework: Acknowledge, Contain, and Timebox. Beyond the practical tools, the conversation explored Meg's philosophy that facilitation means "to make easy," focusing on the process and experience of group interaction and the importance of believing in people's ability to contribute.
