Meeting Facilitation

Make meetings with other leaders and your direct reports highly engaging and productive.

We help executives transform their annual strategy retreats, vision sessions, quarterly updates, and other important meetings by creating the structures and interactive experiences for better conversations, connection, and alignment.

Our Approach

  • Full Participation

    We take charge to help everyone fully participate because you can’t run a meeting and be a participant in a meeting at the same time.

  • Design and Improvisation

We work with leaders to make a plan and keep the meeting flowing, while reacting to what emerges in the moment.

  • Experiences

    We bring engaging, effective, and joyful experiences, activties, and structures to both in-person and virtual meetings.

Work examples
 
 
 

Direct Report Meetings

For this Disney Parks leader, we created engaging and interactive activities to achieve the desired objectives at her quarterly meeting with direct reports, lifting the burdens of facilitation from her and letting her fully participate.

 
 
 

Brand Vision 

For the Qurate president and her direct reports, we facilitated and planned a multi-day virtual executive offsite to decide on core strategy and vision.  

 
 
 

Annual Strategy

We facilitated leaders’ goal setting and introduced the Decision Tree, a decision-making model that the team was able to immediately benefit from.

 
 

Leadership Summit

We facilitated a virtual experience to deepen community and create alignment among various teams.

Why Facilitation

Goal: You want to have great meetings with your people.

Insight: As a leader, it’s hard to facilitate and participate.

Action: Get a talented outside team to facilitate.

The result will be that you get to fully participate and the outside team will bring ways of facilitation that you as a leader never could (playfulness, naive question asking, structures, etc.) that will lead to more joy, less fear, and better results.
