Facilitators help people communicate.
The name "Facilitator" comes from the Latin word Facilis, which means to do or make easy. A facilitator pays attention to group process in addition to content in order to "make easy" any meeting or forum involving groups of people or teams. Facilitation is useful when participants in a meeting are concerned about each person having an opportunity to speak and be heard by all. A skilled facilitator helps draw out each participant's ideas, opinions, beliefs, suggestions, wants, and needs. A skilled facilitator directs the flow of communication so that the purpose of the meeting is fulfilled.
Intercultural and international facilitators for business development are experts in helping participants cross the cultural divide. Quite often, additional linguistic skills are needed on the part of the facilitator. Additional expertise is needed to facilitate the meeting process with sensitivity to cultural norms, differences, and possible intercultural misunderstandings.
