What is a Trainer? What is a Facilitator?
By Guila Muir
Recently, I’ve noticed that some corporations call their trainers “facilitators.” I can only assume this is meant to be shorthand for “facilitator of learning.” However, is “facilitator” really an appropriate term when the “facilitator” uses only lecture and Power Point? Are facilitating a strategic planning session and teaching someone how to do that really the same thing?
