Natural Born Facilitator

Some people are just really good at meeting facilitation. They appear to naturally understand how to lay out expectations, read the group when a change is needed, move people along respectfully and draw out the voices of quiet members. Can we provide facilitator training to create effective meeting facilitators? Or is this something that we naturally just get or don't get? I think it's got to be some of both.

  1. I think it's a nature vs. nurture deal.

    Sure you can train people to do it better at leading and it's a wise idea to do so, but I think some people are just naturally good at it.
