Three Signed Editions of the Facilitator's Guide, Plus Two Coaching Sessions with Sam Kaner

Donated by: Sam Kaner, Community At Work

Lot Includes: All three signed editions of the Facilitator's Guide to Participatory Decision-Making, plus two personal coaching sessions with Sam Kaner

About the Prize

This is the book that shaped modern facilitation, paired with time with the author himself. The winning bidder receives all three editions of Sam Kaner's landmark Facilitator's Guide to Participatory Decision-Making, the "purple book" that gave the field the Diamond of Participatory Decision-Making and the Groan Zone. Every copy is personally signed by Sam and his co-authors. On top of the signed set, you get two one-on-one coaching sessions with Sam, a rare chance to think through your own facilitation practice with one of the people who defined it.

What You Get

• The first edition (1996), the original that launched a movement, signed
• The second edition (2007), signed
• The third edition (2014), the current definitive text, signed
• Personal signatures from Sam Kaner and his co-authors across the set
• Two one-on-one coaching sessions with Sam Kaner, tailored to your practice

Why You Want This

If you facilitate, coach, or train, this is the trilogy that defined the craft, and this is your chance to learn directly from its lead author. A complete signed set of all three editions almost never comes up, and the two coaching sessions turn a keepsake into a genuine investment in your own skill. Books for the shelf, conversations for the craft: together they are unmistakably special.
