Meeting Facilitation

We volunteer all of our time for startup and small nonprofits. We will facilitate your meetings from a few hours up to 2 days, with up to 20 participants. All we ask is reimbursement of expenses. For established non-profits, please contact us to inquire about consulting rates & fees.

To qualify for our volunteer services, all you need to do is to convince us of the worth of your cause, and that you cannot afford our regular fees.

 

Process

  • Initial phone conversation to determine mutual interest.
  • Initial meeting (coffee? lunch? beer?) to explore options and make plans.
  • Additional pre-meeting(s) to plan "the big day" as necessary.
  • The meeting. We supply all materials (flip charts, markers, etc). You supply the meeting facilities and brainpower.
  • Follow-up. As appropriate, we will meet with you for review and progress assessment.
One of the biggest challenges to a successful meeting outcome is proper follow-through. In return for the donation of our time, we will ask you to share with us how you are progressing towards any goals and action items identified at the meeting. Should you find our services valuable, this will also be the "price" for our continued volunteer involvement with your organization.

Things to remember

  • This is your meeting. We have no knowledge of your cause and organization, and we will not tell you what to do.
  • We will guide your team in a collaborative and inclusive process, so that your team can harness the collective power of the group.
  • We will make sure that all team members feel empowered to contribute their individual knowledge to the team's goals.
  • We will keep your team focused to achieve great results.
  • You will come away from the meeting with a sense of collective achievement, as well as concrete steps towards implementation.
