’The Fast Facilitator is well organised, well written, and a very practical resource. I am happy to recommend it to those organizations who want facilitation to be part of the way they operate, and to those consultants who wish to enhance their skills.’ Institute of Training and Occupation Learning website, www.itol.co.uk ’This resource covers a huge amount of ground in a way that I found helpful, clear and accessible. I can envisage how the material might enhance my own facilitation and coaching activities, and I expect that other trainers and consultants who are similarly enthusiastic about the benefits of skilful facilitation will find it equally appealing.’ People Management 'There is a wealth of information and activities in this publication...this is a very useful and well presented manual that should have an appeal to both novice and experienced facilitators.'
