Meeting Facilitation
It’s hard to get the most out of a group session where you want to give your input, but you also need to guide the group.
- Guiding a group towards decisions and actions, where there is a shared acceptance and feeling of responsibility is an important task.
- If the group owns the decisions and actions, then they are more likely to work towards these with motivation and purpose.
- Have you considered being ‘in’ the meeting rather than running it? As a leader, you also can be a contributor, rather than a facilitator.
At Spectra Coaching, meeting facilitation is one of our key services. Read more about how we approach meeting facilitation.

What is a meeting facilitator?
There is a natural connection between coaching and facilitation. Coaches are trained to hold safe and non-judgmental spaces and accept responses, this creates authenticity and intimacy. Connecting these skills with the facilitation space fosters group learning by leveraging diversity, differences, and emotions and supports shift of unhealthy conflict to healthy debate.
Our framework
We use the PQL Framework (Preparation- Questioning- Listening).
- Preparation: How to create trust and positive alliances whilst leveraging group diversity and differences.
- Questioning: Great questions create conscious impact and foster new ideas and solutions.
- Listening: Being present, coming from a place of non-judgment, demonstrating empathy is a catalyst to transform conflict into a healthy debate.
We work with your to plan and prepare your session, to understand what your goals are, who is in the group, and any concerns you may have. We then guide the meeting / day itself for you. Being external to your group allows us to freely ask questions, to see opinions and thoughts from a different perspective, and it allows us to move the group forward without any concerns of judgement.
