The document discusses facilitation skills. It defines facilitation as drawing all members to actively discuss a topic to reach group consensus and actionable responses. It contrasts teacher-centered vs participant-centered facilitation. The facilitator draws ideas from participants rather than being the subject matter expert. Six rules for facilitating productive discussions are outlined: 1) explain guidelines, 2) encourage others to talk, 3) be an active listener, 4) ask the right questions, 5) respond appropriately to questions and comments, and 6) conclude by asking each person for a practical application. Examples are provided for each rule.
