Master Facilitator Journal | Effectively Debriefing Experiential Activities | Issue #413, October 13, 2009

"How we debrief

1. Ask reflective questions.

These questions allow participants to look at the obvious things that came from the activity. Limit inputs based on available time.
For example, “I’d like to hear from two or three groups. Tell me what this activity brought up you...”
"What struck you about this activity?..."
"What worked, what didn’t?..."
"What conclusions can you draw based on your experience?..."
"Will you now do anything differently?..."

In the case of training activities, ask questions that prompt participants along the lines of your learning objectives. This keeps the discussion targeted and tight. For example, "What did your interaction in this activity tell you about how you respond to the unexpected?"

2. Facilitate the breadth and direction of discussion.

Seek to hear from several participants and keep discussion focused on learning or work objectives. Prevent the group from straying off on tangents that are not in line the group's overall goals. At the same time, if an interesting course of inquiry emerges that you didn't plan on, that has energy in the group and that does respond to the group's objectives, by all means, help the group follow that thread. This kind of inquiry that emerges based on the group's lived experience in the present moment is usually the most potent and powerful.

3. Observe and question undertones.

Deeper learning and awareness available to participants may require so reading between the lines are your part. Be sensitive to the emotional tone, verbal language and body language to get a sense for directions that might be prudent to explore. For example, "Bill, your responses seem tentative, is there something more you want to say?"

4. Probe for depth and generalize to life.

As the debrief unfolds around a staged activity, you may want to help participants generalize their personal or group discoveries to their everyday life. One of the benefits of running an experiential activity that evokes some degree of challenge and stress, is that participants' everyday p
