Embrace Facilitation over Teaching to Elevate Your Team
Do you want to take your team to the next level?
Then don't be a Teacher, be a Facilitator. You might be wondering why. Let me break it down.

👧👦 With kids, teaching is the go-to. They're like sponges, soaking up everything the teacher imparts. But with adults, it's a different game. They come with a wealth of experiences and expertise, sometimes seen as baggage. However, you can turn that into an advantage.
🔍 Facilitation Unlocks Potential: For adults, facilitation is the game-changer. It's not about being the sole source of knowledge but guiding them like a compass. Let them navigate their learning journey independently.
💡 Engagement = Magic: The more engaged your team is, the more they learn. Facilitation lets them connect the dots using their own experiences. It's personalised, allowing them to learn at their own pace and in their unique way.
👩🏫 Shift to Learner-Centric Approach: Move away from the teacher-centred model. In teaching, the teacher is at the centre but in facilitation, the spotlight is on the learner. Tailor the learning process to their needs, pace and style.
🌐 Why Facilitate? Because it empowers your team to be active participants in their growth journey.
