WHY USE AN EXTERNAL FACILITATOR?
Our clients use us as external facilitators for a range of reasons.
First, we're expert at putting a group at ease and creating a safe space for discussion.
Second, it's a lot easier for you to participate in a workshop if you don't have the stress of running it.
And finally, we're independent - that means no hidden agenda or biases to influence the direction of the conversation - and we can call things as we see them.
TYPES OF WORKSHOPS WE SUPPORT
You can hire a facilitator for a classic workshop, where everyone will attend in face-to-face in the same room. We're also experienced at virtual delivery, if you need an online workshop. Or, if you need a mix of both, no problem - we've done plenty of hybrid sessions too.

Face to face
