Tree Bressen+Stories - Pattern Language of Group Process

The book Art of Facilitation on p. 33 has a checklist of questions to ask yourself before agreeing to facilitate for a particular group. The last question on the list is, "Am I the only person who will work well with this group?" They say that if the answer is yes, then you should strongly consider declining, because your ego may be too wrapped up in it to do a good job. A classic version of why having a Personal Practice is so important!
