The number of facilitators needed to deliver an awesome cohort experience depends on a few things: 1) the experience of the facilitator(s), 2) the size and demand of the cohort and 3) the cohort schedule. An ideal cohort size will range from 8-15 participants. A skilled and experienced CO.STARTERS facilitator can handle this size group alone but having two facilitators allows for more diverse facilitation and style. It’s best to pair a new facilitator with an experienced facilitator, so they can share responsibilities and work together to support each other. If you are holding an intensive and having two sessions each week, we highly recommend two facilitators because of the quick pace and more limited time between sessions for review and preparation.
