Facilitating High-Performing Conversations,
Meetings and Events
A successful meeting is one that leaves participants energized, pleased with their progress and clear about what has been accomplished. Working together, we will design a meeting or event that matches your needs and culture. We’ll make sure you have the right focus, and that you achieve your desired result. Events that we facilitate are highly engaging and action-packed, and always tailored to the unique objectives of the group.
A facilitator must keenly observe group processes, manage group dynamics and design activities that are suited to the task. Whether your group is a committee of two or a community of 150, our skills and methods will get and keep the process moving in the direction you need to go.
Gammy Bird Consulting has facilitated hundreds of events of all kinds and sizes. These include:
- Board or staff retreats
- Team meetings
- Coalition events
- Multi-stakeholder and community events
"There is no specific agenda for this meeting. As usual, we'll just make unrelated emotional statements about things which bother us…” ~ Dilbert cartoon
We strive to:
- Gather diverse perspectives
- Build trust and teamwork
- Optimize alignment and cooperation
- Enhance leadership opportunities for participants
- Manage conflict to create change
- Facilitate high-quality decisions based on full stakeholder participation

“Our planning and priority setting session went very, very well, and we owe you a big ‘thank you.’ Because this exercise was of critical importance to the County's work to improve the safety net of health and human services, it was equally critical that the facilitation be intuitive, skilled, sharp, effective, and integrative. It was all of those things, and our group performed and achieved as never before." |
