Having an outside, impartial facilitator can help your meetings and retreats run smoother, achieve greater results, and stay on track. Examples of the types of situations that will benefit from professional facilitation include:

• Annual board retreats,
• Annual staff meetings or retreats,
• Collaborative meetings between multiple organizations,
• Merger negotiations,
• Strategic planning sessions,
• Fund development planning sessions

At our first meeting together we will discuss your needs. I will then suggest an agenda and types of activities that are most likely to achieve your desired results. I will lead your meeting, ensuring full participation from all attendees with strict attention to your organizational goals. Following your retreat, I will create a report that includes all outcomes, to-do lists, and a plan of action for next steps.

To arrange a retreat or have me facilitate your meeting, please contact me at ken at goldstein.net or by phone at 408.396.3677.
