    This is HUGELY helpful to an aspiring facilitator like myself and a great review for more experienced facilitators. I love the intentional use of language Dee implements - It always amazes me how changing up the WAY you ask/say/explain can make such a huge difference! Gold nuggets for days.

    I've only recently started this, while subtle, it is very useful. Once I introduce an exercise through the What, Why and How approach I ask, "What questions do you have for me?" It sets an expectation for clarifying questions, so people tend to speak out if they don't understand, much more than asking "Does everyone get it?"

    Maybe it is because I am not a native english speaker, but I dont see the difference between "what else" and "anything else" 🤨 Deepl translate it to me in german, but both would rather engage participants to talk😅

    "what" is implying there should be other options/answers, the floor is open. "anything" is more vague, and most of us don't really want to "move" or act if we don't have to. For this reason, "anything else?" helps to move on quickly. If you are facilitating in German, just like with professional translating, the best is to find an equivalent phrase or a question with the same effect. Maybe culturally speaking more direct "should we discuss it more or should we move on?" or "are we ready to move on?" (as an alternative to "anything else"). What do you think?

    @Facilitator' is a BS profession, and 'expert facilitator' is a contradiction in terms. It is like being an expert in wearing warm clothes in winter.
