As a business professional, odds are you’ve attended your fair share of meetings that have left you feeling:

  • frustrated because you didn’t have a chance to contribute
  • disappointed because you thought you would get better results from the work your team did together
  • unproductive, or
  • like you could have just read what you heard in an email

Judging by the memes out there, you’re not alone.

Whole Person Process Facilitation is a simple way of facilitating meetings that:

  • get real work done quickly by engaging effective adult learning and contribution strategies
  • increase engagement and participation
  • are focused on accomplishing the purpose and expected outcomes
  • invite the right people to be in the room to achieve your business goal
  • make effective use of time through careful facilitation planning
  • enhance real-time collaboration by tapping into the collective wisdom of your people
  • enables people to feel valued by inviting the whole person to be present, not just their ‘talent’ or specific skillset

One participant in a Whole Person Process facilitated meeting said:

“You took us from 0 to 60 in just a few minutes and we became fully engaged in working out the processes we needed to support the new software we were required to use. We achieved more in a day than we thought we would in a year. Thank you.”
