You know the saying "doctors need doctors."

"We are so good at facilitating community organizers and volunteers, but it's clear we are not equipped to facilitate each other."

A couple organizations I'm talking to right now about have said this to me. I say it all the time too. This is completely normal!

Coaches need coaches. Healers need healers. Facilitators need facilitators. Hair dressers need hair dressers. Doctors need doctors.

Because having a facilitator guide difficult conversations, as well as strategic conversations, team building, board and strategic planning retreats is, in my expert opinion, the best investment of your team's time and organization's resources, invest the time to find a facilitator.
