Facilitation Guide

The Facilitation Workbook

A Complete Guide to Running Any Purpose Built Press Book as a Group Program

You know how to hold a room. You have never documented why it works.

This is for:

For the facilitator or group leader who wants to run a Purpose Built Press title as a documented group program.

You'll produce:your The Facilitation Workbook Charter

The Name It First Experience

You know the content. You have run groups before. What you do not have is a documented structure that works the same way every time you hand it to someone else. Your Facilitation Blueprint gives you session frameworks, distress protocols, accountability structures, and a signed commitment to the program you are running. The output is not a checklist. It is a signed facilitation charter.

You can opt into 30-, 60-, and 90-day check-ins from your account. We recommend you do — the point is to see what changed.

Sample questions

  1. What does it mean to facilitate this work — the specific responsibility you take on when you run a group through one of these books, and how you are showing up for the people in the room?
  2. What is the part of facilitation that most challenges you — the moment in a group session where you are least confident and most likely to default to something that does not actually serve the participants?
  3. What would The Facilitation Record say — honestly — about what you bring to this work, what you need to develop, and what your groups need from you that you are still learning how to give?
