“Eight Key Characteristics For A Strategic Planning Facilitator, According To Your Strategic Thinking Business Coach”
By: J. Glenn Ebersole, Jr., Chief Executive of J. G. Ebersole Associates and The Renaissance Group ™

Selecting a professional strategic planning facilitator is very important. Facilitation of your strategic planning process involves working with groups of people and requires that the facilitator be tuned in at all times to what is happening. The facilitator also must be able to suspend or change the direction of the process when necessary.

An experienced professional facilitator used in your strategic planning process will greatly increase the probability of a successful process and strategic plan and will also enable the participants to leave with positive feelings, a stronger cohesiveness, a sense of accomplishment and a stronger team. In selecting a professional facilitator, your strategic thinking business coach suggests that you look for the following key characteristics.
+ has experience in leading strategic planning processes
+ has excellent communication skills
+ has an understanding of organizational issues
+ has conflict management skills and confidence in handling conflicts
+ has the ability to help clarify your outcomes
+ has a commitment to ensure the group will reach the desired outcomes
+ has the ability to operate systematically and keep people focused
+ has the ability to offer insight and empathy


If you would like to learn more about using a professional facilitator for your strategic planning efforts and how a strategic thinking business coach can serve as your guide and facilitator in that process, please contact Glenn Ebersole today through his website at www.businesscoach4u.com or by email at jgecoach@aol.com
