Our facilitators can provide significant benefits to an organization in both planning and executing projects that advance person-centered practice and culture. We can serve as neutral guides who help ensure that discussions are productive, focused, and inclusive. Our role is to foster clear communication, encourage collaboration, and maintain a structured process that keeps everyone on task.

Here are some of our more recent projects:

• Health Management Associates
  • Vermont AHS HCBS Conflict of Interest in Case Management -Firstperson Services facilitated a series of eight stakeholder meetings for Choices for Care, Brain Injury and Developmental Disabilities Services.
• LifeCourse Nexus Training & Facilitation Center, University of Missouri Kansas City, Institute for Human Development
  • Online facilitation of Ambassador Series coaching calls
  • Showcase facilitation of Charting the LifeCourse in Action sessions for provider agencies
  • Facilitation of the Values Into Action , Achieva and Arkansas Support Network leadership teams and agency staff in creating implementation plans to bring Charting the LifeCourse into the operations of the organization.

Here are several key benefits of using Firstperson Services faciliators:

1. Objective Guidance: A Firstperson Services facilitator provides impartial oversight, helping to manage differing opinions and prevent any one voice from dominating the discussion. This neutrality allows for fair and balanced decision-making.
2. Efficient Use of Time: Our facilitators help keep meetings on track, ensuring that time is used effectively. They guide the group through agenda points, minimizing distractions and avoiding tangents that can derail progress.
3. Enhanced Collaboration: By creating a structured environment where all voices are heard, Firstperson Services facilitators improve team dynamics and ensure that diverse perspectives are considered. This collaborative approach often leads to more creative and well-rounded solutions.
4. Clear Decision-Making: Our skilled facilitators can help clarify goals, define responsibilities, and identify the next steps, ensuring that decisions are made with consensus and clarity. This reduces confusion and miscommunication, helping the project move forward smoothly.
5. Conflict Resolution: In cases of disagreement, our facilitators are trained to manage conflict constructively. They help diffuse tensions, guide participants towards common ground, and ensure that conflicts don’t derail the project.
6. Focused Outcomes: By using our facilitation specialists, you can ensure that discussions lead to concrete outcomes and action plans. Facilitators push teams to set measurable goals, timelines, and responsibilities, making the implementation phase more organized and effective.
7. Improved Engagement: Firstperson Services professional facilitators use techniques to actively engage all participants, which leads to better buy-in from the group. When team members feel heard and valued, they are more likely to commit to the project’s success.
