You’re using a hammer

to make an omelet…

In business, the atomic unit of work is the meeting. It’s where collaboration
happens, big decisions get made, and complex issues get solved. But, let’s be
honest. YOUR MEETINGS SUCK. They’re too long. They’re inefficient. They
don’t deliver value. In fact, 90% of you say that over half the meetings you
attend are a waste of time. AND as hard as you work to make them more
effective, the needle doesn’t seem to move. Maybe that’s because you’re
using the wrong tool. When the problem is gnarly, the scope spans silos, and
the way forward isn’t obvious, the typical meeting is simply a square peg in a
round hole.

But, there IS a better way

What if you got the “whole system” in a room – not just a “core team” but
stakeholders and decision makers, too - and sequestered them for one, two, or
even three days of face-to-face time? What if an expert in collaboration
designed that session, drawing from 100’s of processes and frameworks
developed, and field-tested over 15 years? What if that same expert were also
a master facilitator who led the meeting for you, making sure it stayed on
track, folks were engaged, dysfunction was dealt with, decisions were clear,
commitment was tested, and plans were crisp and well understood? Can you
see how the result would be better?

Perceptive, energetic, thorough, inclusive, gifted, results oriented, are all terms that could be used to describe one of the best facilitators in the business. A person who consistently finds a way to bring the ideas of every individual into the conversation while still allowing the sense of the group to shine through!

Dennis is engaging, thoughtful and perhaps most importantly, keeps our leadership group focused on identifying and addressing the key organizational issues that face our growing association. He is able to distill complex issues with disparate viewpoints into a structured framework with the necessary consensus to take positive action. Dennis has become a key member of our long-range planning team.

Chas Haynes

Executive Director — Society for Neuro-Oncology
Dennis is, by far, the most skilled facilitator I have worked with. He’s conducted planning sessions for my Board of Directors and team-building workshops with staff. Each experience has been excellent and very successful. I highly recommend him for anyone who’s looking to find group consensus, foster dialogue, move to action—and have fun!

Chris Otis

Executive Director — S.M.A.R.T. (Start Making a Reader Today)
When Dennis came to us, we were a group without a vision or a mission. We knew we needed both, but had no idea how to find either. Dennis showed up and calmly, brilliantly, with patience but with purpose, helped us to discover what we were meant to be. But for him, the Arizona Faith Network would not exist.
