Susan, interesting that you would bring this up. I met a lovely woman at a
conference a few weeks ago, and she had this to say about leaders vs
facilitators (not sure where she got it, so I'll accredit it to Jalisa
Johnson, an adorable collegiate from Florida):

A leader is one who is willing to go before.
A facilitator is one who eases the path for others.

Best wishes,
Sam Doak


We're going to Candy Mountain, Charlie!

Dear all:

Since we are not usually sitting with the mothers and babies for hours on
end like doulas, 
or day and night like baby nurses --- it seems to me that an even better
word for what we 
do is facilitation.  

Best, Susan
