word | facilitate |

definition | To make (something) easier; to make (something) run more smoothly. |
eg_sentence | Her uncle hadn't exactly gotten her the job, but he had certainly facilitated the process. |
explanation | Facilitating is about getting things done. Clever employees are quietly facilitating all kinds of useful activity within their organizations all the time. People who lead therapy groups or workshops are often called facilitators, since their job isn't to teach or to order but rather to make the meetings as productive as possible. Even businesses now use facilitators in meetings where they don't want any person's particular desires to outweigh anyone else's. The facilitation of a rewarding discussion should be a facilitator's only goal. Today, in recognition of the many different situations that may call for a facilitator, there is even an International Association of Facilitators. |
