- Shadow meeting leaders and offer feedback for improvements

Large Group Meeting Management & Facilitation
Ideal for board meetings, community stakeholder meetings, company change forums, and high-impact team-building events - we are very skilled in working with you to design and facilitate your large group forums and events. In large group facilitation, we utilize:
