How JD Solomon’s Newest Book, Facilitating with FINESSE, Is Different from Other Facilitation Books
The book dives into 10 applications that are most relevant to project managers and technically trained professionals.
I sat down with Ray Moore to discuss my newest book, Facilitating with FINESSE: How to How to Lead Others to Successful Business Solutions. These are the three middle questions that discuss what inspired me to write the book. The book focuses heavily on helping young professionals move their careers from good to great.
Ray: So, have you facilitated all ten applications in the book?
JD: Yes, multiple times and multiple locations for all ten. Most of which has been good, but I am also open about my mistakes and misjudgments.
Ray: What makes this book different than other books on facilitation?
JD: We do not waste a lot of time on the basics covered by most facilitation books. In fact, we only spend part of one chapter on the basics. This book focuses on ten practical areas and provides specific ways to facilitate them better. There is no other book with all of this in one place.
Ray: Why should someone spend $30 to buy this book?
JD: There is the only practical book on facilitation for technical professionals. We have organized it to be modular in the sense that you can skip over applications that do not apply to you at this point in your career. The book has also been priced affordably to reach more people, especially younger professionals, who are often thrown in over their heads before they know what is happening.
