From the Front of the Room: Notes on Facilitation for Experienced Practitioners - Revised Edition

by Dan Newman

This book is about how facilitators interact with participants during large, complex workshops. It is not about agenda design but rather about the behaviours that lead to engagement, insight and tangible outcomes. It is intended for experienced facilitators rather than beginners. This revised edition incorporates more tangible examples, particularly innovations arising from virtual and hybrid workshops.

About the author

Dan Newman has spent much of his…. Jeez. Look at that. I’m giving myself the third-person treatment. Let's not pretend I have "people" to man this site. We both know it's me.

The basics; I’m an Englishman by birth, a Canadian by immigration, and amalgam of several wonderful places in Southern Africa by virtue of the time I’ve spent there growing up.

I’m a citizen of the beach thanks to my formative years spent in the Caribbean, and I’m a self described Australian enviator (yeah, I made that word up – what of it?

It means someone who envies all that someone else has), thanks to the time I spent there at Grad school, and the hours and days I spent trying desperately to look like I knew what I was doing on a surfboard
