Facilitation
 

Meeting and workshop facilitation.

Are you running successful meetings?
When you’re at the wheel of a 60ft yacht in rough waters, you simultaneously need to concentrate on the wind, the water, the depth, the weather, the well-being of your crew and of course your destination. Steering a meeting similarly demands attention to many variables.
 
As a business leader, running the meeting may not be the best use of your time or the best way to accomplish your desired goals. If you want participant ownership and lasting commitment to meeting outcomes, a better choice may be to serve as a member of the team and not as the leader.
