Facilitated Meeting

The best way to make a crucial meeting more effective may be to let someone else run it

A common frustration of work teams is that crucial meetings are too often disappointing and ineffective. Participants settle into their comfortable and familiar roles, and leaders consumed by running the meeting are unable to creatively contribute and guide as they’d like. Decisions aren’t made, problems aren’t solved, and the meeting accomplishes little and satisfies few. There’s a better way, and it’s often as simple as breaking free of the routine.

Off-site meeting facilitation can be like a one-day retreat

Our meeting facilitators work with you to develop the meeting agenda, incorporating the interactive challenges—indoors or outdoors—that energize and illuminate in a welcomed and needed change of pace. Meeting facilitation keeps the process moving and on-point, deftly maintaining the balance between substantive progress and an open opportunity for participants to freely contribute.

We’ll work with you to set the ground rules, and then keep the atmosphere positive and the meeting constructive, on-course and faithful to your agenda and needs. Expertly resolving and diffusing conflict while ensuring respectful treatment of everyone’s ideas. Participants also benefit from short teaching exercises that are congruent with your objectives, such as decision-making, problem-solving, conflict resolution and meeting effectiveness.
