An L2L group facilitator is a membership architect, culture creator, discussion facilitator, experienced advisor, covenant protector, and a leader of leaders.

• Membership Architect: L2L facilitators enlist the original membership of the group by approaching and vetting prospective members in order to assemble a balanced, highly functional, and non-competing group of C-level leaders. As the group experiences vacancies over the years, the facilitator works with the group to identify and vet new prospective members so that the group remains healthy and energetic.
• Culture Creator: L2L facilitators create an intentional culture and environment at each meeting by preparing the agenda, supplemental resources, member communication, and creative activities to enhance group performance.
• Discussion Facilitator: L2L facilitators do not dominate discussions—they orchestrate deep member participation by teaching members how to ask probing questions and offer relevant insight. They are able to “command” the flow of conversation without being overbearing, and offer alternative approaches to thinking and issue processing.
• Experienced Advisor: There is a fine balance between facilitation and participation, and L2L group facilitators know how to encourage participation among all of the members while sharing from their own wealth of experience when appropriate.
• Covenant Protector: L2L groups are covenant and accountability communities. L2L facilitators help the groups determine a set of operating agreements or covenants, and then develop ownership of those agreements within the group as members hold themselves accountable to one another.
• A Leader of Leaders: L2L group facilitators are comfortable leading others to become world-class leaders of life-changing organizations.

• Builds the initial group membership through networking and marketing activities to identify prospective group members and vet candidates. A group cannot be started until there are at least six members. A new group must be launched within four months of approval as an L2L facilitator.
• Prepares for each meeting:
  • Thinks about what the group and individual members need
  • Determines the agenda (with specific activities and times)
  • Prepares meeting resources (name tents, posters, equipment, flip chart, markers, etc.)
  • Continuously introduces creative ways to promote better sharing and learning
  • Communicates meeting information to members
• Facilitates meeting activities and flow:
  • Opens and closes the meeting
  • Keeps the meeting on track and on time
  • Watches the members in order to encourage everyone’s participation, discourage dominating members, and be sensitive to the tone and emotion of the group
  • Insures that commitments made by members are recorded
  • Monitors the groups operating agreements/covenants and accountability
  • Decides how long to let an individual issue discussion go
• In conjunction with the group, identifies and vets replacement group members so that the group continues to maintain between six and fourteen members (an ideal group size is twelve members).
• Facilitator compensation is based on group size. Monthly compensation ranges from $600 - $1,800 for groups between 6 – 16 members.
