FACILITATOR'S MANIFESTO

• Let.
• Eschew expertise. Know nothing.
• Throw all status away. It is weight which will sink you.
• Doing nothing is best; doing least is better; active is worst.
• No investment in content.
• Your compass points to output, subject to the magnetic variation of the group's changes.
• As one finger on a tiller will keep a boat to its course, so minimal steering.
• Off course may be on course. How do you know?
• You are not the guide. There is no map. Ask the group for directions.
• Time is a prejudice. Things take as long as they do.
• See each participant as you would a loved one.
• Capture exact words - the language has value.
• Calm. You are not responsible.
• Trust your physical senses.
• Hear more by being quiet inside.
• Help by not helping.
