A continuación, te explicamos cómo puedes maximizar el crecimiento de tu carrera como facilitador resiliente.

Desarrolla habilidades clave como comunicación efectiva, empatía, inteligencia emocional y resolución de problemas. Practica la adaptabilidad, busca oportunidades de aprendizaje y construye una red profesional sólida. Mantén una mentalidad de crecimiento y busca retroalimentación para mejorar continuamente.

When new skills are obtained for facilitation, it is imperative to practice often. Incorporate your skills in meetings, 1:1, or even the drive thru will help create effective habits and lead to enhanced communication and mastery of skills.

To maximise your career growth as a resilient facilitator, my suggestion is to embrace a growth mindset that thrives on stepping beyond comfort zones. This means checking your ego at the door of the facilitation room, and prioritizing the collective emergence in the room over personal agendas. It's about being willing to dive into unfamiliar territory, knowing that growth lies just beyond the edge of your comfort zone. By focusing on the process and the people, rather than solely on outcomes, you'll foster an environment of innovation and collaboration that propels both your career and the success of those you facilitate, and that competence gives you resilience and confidence to dare even more the next time around :-)

Becoming a more resilient facilitator involves embracing a wide array of challenges with an open mind and a flexible approach. That is more important than having hundreds of tools in the toolbox. By actively seeking out diverse experiences and situations (from participatory decision making to leadership topics), you not only expand your skill set but also develop the adaptability needed to thrive in any environment. Whether it's navigating conflicting perspectives, managing unexpected disruptions, or facilitating difficult conversations, each challenge becomes an opportunity for growth & learning. Embracing this mindset allows you to continuously evolve, equipping you with the resilience to tackle any obstacle that comes your way.

Innovación va de la mano con la creatividad y la flexibilidad: Hay que permanecer actualizad@s en diversas metodologías y mantener una mente abierta para adaptar técnicas nuevas e incluso de otras áreas de conocimiento de formas creativas a nuestro quehacer como facilitadores.

Beyond the conventional strategies, consider incorporating practices from other disciplines into your facilitation toolkit. Drawing inspiration from fields like improvisational theater, design thinking, or even mindfulness can infuse your facilitation style with creativity & resilience. For instance, techniques such as "Yes, and..." from improv can foster a culture of collaboration and innovation, while mindfulness practices can help you stay grounded and present amidst chaos (being present to the energy in the room is key). By thinking outside the box & integrating diverse influences, you can cultivate a unique approach to facilitation that not only enhances your resilience but also sparks transformative experiences for your participants.
