Preparation

Step 2: Co-design approach
Once you accept the proposal and pay the 50% deposit, we’ll lock in the workshop dates and get planning underway. I’ll send a survey to participants to help shape the agenda, and we’ll meet again to finalise the details. It’s that simple!

Facilitation Code of Ethics

At AraHina, we align with the International Association of Facilitators (IAF) Statement of Values and Code of Ethics, established in June 2004 after extensive consultation with facilitators globally. We believe in the inherent value of individuals and the collective wisdom within groups. Our role is to enable each member to contribute meaningfully, supporting the group’s autonomy in making its own decisions. By fostering collaborative and cooperative interactions, we help build consensus that leads to impactful outcomes. We are committed to continuous professional growth and collaboration to advance our facilitation practice. Please visit the IAF Website for more information.

Why bother investing in a facilitator?

Investing in a facilitator helps eliminate the stress of managing discussions, juggling different perspectives, and keeping everyone on track. I handle the process, allowing you and your team to focus on contributing ideas without the pressure of guiding the conversation. This reduces the risk of conflict or misalignment and ensures that everyone’s voice is heard, leading to clearer decisions and stronger buy-in. By managing time, structure, and group dynamics, I help avoid the frustration of endless debates, off-topic discussions, or unproductive meetings. Ultimately, I streamline the process, making it more efficient and collaborative while freeing up your energy for what really matters - achieving meaningful outcomes.

The definition of Facilitation?

"Facilitation is the art of guiding people through a process towards agreed upon objectives in a manner that encourages participation, equity, ownership, full potential and creativity by all those involved.” (Technology of Participation Group Facilitation Methods Manual ICAA)

“The primary work of the facilitator is done in silence, and to the untrained eye it may look as if the facilitator is not doing anything at all” (Dale Hunter)

What on Earth is Facilitation?

The Zen of Groups, Dale Hunter, Anne Bailey and Bill Taylor say: "Group facilitation is the art of guiding the group towards agreed objectives. A facilitator guides the process and does not get involved in the content. A facilitator intervenes to protect the group process and keep the group on track to fulfil its task.” (Hunter et al, 1992)  

Trusting in the process to unlock the wisdom in the room and unleash human potential is truly powerful. That means that no hui, engagement, or outcome is the same and that’s what I love best!

What are the Technology of Participation facilitation methods?

As a ToP Facilitator, I’m trained in the Technology of Participation (ToP) methodology, which is all about guiding groups through effective decision-making and planning. I use structured methods like Focused Conversation and the Consensus Workshop method to keep discussions clear and on track. The ToP methods I use are internationally recognised and have been proven effective across various contexts. My aim is to not only facilitate productive meetings but also to empower your group with tools and techniques that you can use in the future.
