Facilitating Meetings

Leading a meeting is a key skill for many leaders. Most meetings don’t need a facilitator but some critical ones do.

You might be able to facilitate but you might want to contribute to the meeting without having the responsibility to design and lead the process. I am an experienced and trained facilitator and can help you in that situation.

Bringing people together for a meeting can be time consuming and expensive. If it is to be worthwhile, you need the confidence that the time will be used well and that the desired results can be achieved.

I use a rigorous meeting design process to ensure all the issues are out on the table so that the design of the meeting is as ‘fit for purpose’ as possible.

This will normally include, where possible, speaking to all the participants before the meeting to understand what they hope to achieve from it.
