Large meetings

Large meetings, workshops and conferences often suffer from information overload, a relentless pace, crowded sessions and the predominance of existing authorities. 
 

It doesn't have to be that way!
 

If you want your participants to interact, contribute, listen to one another, and work together, contact us.

 

We can help you create events that they will talk about for years to come.

We meet where you are -- during the pandemic, we held "driveway gatherings"!

Strategic Planning

If you think planning takes too long, is boring, and that plans become obsolete too soon, you may be surprised to learn that planning can be fast, flexible and even fun!

We customize strategic planning sessions to meet our clients' needs. We'd be happy to talk with your about yours and to submit a proposal for your consideration. 

We also periodically offer planning workshops on our own and through member organizations. 

Learn more about our planning methods then book a call to discuss what you have in mind. 

Group Development / Retreats

Sometimes, group need time away from urgent business in order to rest and reflect. An online or in-person retreat could help your move forward with more clarity, connection and purpose. 

 

Board retreats; A pre-retreat assessment will help you identify your board's strengths and areas for improvement. Each board retreat covers the basics of board governance and one or two bottlenecks chosen by your board leaders. We end by co-creating a list of next steps which will move your board forward.

 

Other retreats: Retreats tend to be very individualized. We design these retreats to support your goals.  Contact us to discuss what you have in mind.
