A recent thread on the AFN e-list focused on an "elevator pitch" for facilitators - how do we describe what we do in 60 seconds or less?
The "what do we do" discussion seems to rear its head on the e-list about every 6 months with many people trying to define facilitation by what we do.
I waded into the debate with a comment that it would be more useful to focus on our role and why we exist rather than re-inventing the wheel by trying to come up with a perfect definition of facilitation.
