I learned the basics of facilitation working with my colleagues in The Ecumenical Institute (EI) and the Institute of Cultural Affairs (ICA). Every group I ever worked with taught me more about being a facilitator, always challenging me and keeping me searching for how I could do better with the next group. The hundreds of people who trusted me in training sessions asked probing questions and pushed me to understand more deeply and more clearly the task of being a facilitator. Strangers on trains and airplanes asked me what I did and then: </span><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Calibri;font-style:italic;">What does a facilitator do? </span><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Calibri;">While checking my passport, a U.S.A. Immigration officer asked me what I did, and when I told him I was a Group Process Consultant asked me what that involved, resulting in a ten-minute conversation. This book is dedicated to all of them, for they all shaped me and enabled me to learn and grow as a facilitator.</span></div><div style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Calibri;"><br clear="none"></span></div><div style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0);"><div class="ydpfc12924fyiv5716302118ydpc40b9cbbyiv2353694639ydpe0970149yiv7919245918ydp64c134ceyiv7351712159ydpad40eb3byiv6531180965ydp322191c9yiv7176474041ydp8532b4b2yiv5771766979ydp19f3fda3page" title="Page 141"><div class="ydpfc12924fyiv5716302118ydpc40b9cbbyiv2353694639ydpe0970149yiv7919245918ydp64c134ceyiv7351712159ydpad40eb3byiv6531180965ydp322191c9yiv7176474041ydp8532b4b2yiv5771766979ydp19f3fda3layoutArea"><div class="ydpfc12924fyiv5716302118ydpc40b9cbbyiv2353694639ydpe0970149yiv7919245918ydp64c134ceyiv7351712159ydpad40eb3byiv6531180965ydp322191c9yiv7176474041ydp8532b4b2yiv5771766979ydp19f3fda3column"><div style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:20pt;font-family:Cambria;font-weight:700;">About the Author</span></div><ul><li style="font-size:14pt;font-family:SymbolMT;"><p><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Calibri;">As one of the </span><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Calibri;font-weight:700;">pioneers </span><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Calibri;">who helped define and develop the professional field of process facilitation, James M.
