When Monyroth leaders in Training of Trainers, she treats it as if it is a Reflect Circle meeting. She begins by taking the attendance. She gets everyone to sit in a circle and makes sure that no one is sitting either in front or behind anyone else. And she doesn’t speak too much, she only speaks when she is introducing and explaining a new topic, otherwise she facilitates so that the participants are driving the learning through discussion, questions and sharing experiences. She makes the effort to involve everyone in the discussion; if someone is talking too much she politely pauses them and asks someone else to comment. She also includes different activities to break up the training, like a song or a game, so that the participants stand up and do something rather than just sit and listen for the whole training.
Monyroth is able to create a relaxed and comfortable environment where everyone is able to participate. Thank you Monyroth for modeling how to be a really good facilitator!
