The Public puts the public in Public Sector.
That means that nearly every process and project entails gathering public input and feedback.
Minnesota’s City, County, and State employees are experts in public works, policy, finance, government, economics, and many more topics needed to run their organization. Most have never taken a course on how to facilitate a meeting.
Facilitation is different from running through a meeting agenda. Facilitation is about navigating and mediating a variety of voices to find common ground. A skilled facilitator leads input and feedback sessions that are a non-biased space to express opinions. A skilled facilitator draws out a voice from those on the fringe and provides a platform for the assertive without allowing them to dominate. A skilled facilitator keeps the meeting focused on the topic rather than the personal.
