Assessing Certified Professional Facilitators in Shenzhen, China

I was recently one of five assessors who spent three days assessing professional facilitators from around the Asian region. The candidates were from China, South Korea, Japan, Hong Kong and Malaysia. The assessors were from the UK, Australia, the USA, Malaysia and New Zealand. How international is that!

The candidates were a great cross section from the worlds of banking, insurance, technology, consultancy and information management and all presented their unique take on facilitation. This gave everyone, including the assessors, the chance to learn something new as well as playing their part in a rigorous peer assessment process.

The assessment was held under the auspices of the International Association of Facilitators - www.iaf-world.org.
