Liberating Structures
33 microstructures that replace conventional meeting formats. Start with 1-2-4-All in your next meeting. Within a month, you will run sessions where the quietest person contributes as much as the loudest.
Learn moreRun meetings where every participant contributes
You already run meetings and workshops. You know some work and some do not. The difference is structure — having the right method for the right situation, and knowing how to read the room when things go sideways. That is what we teach.
What you will learn
Visual Facilitation
Capture ideas visually during sessions. You do not need to be an artist — you need a few techniques for making group thinking visible and memorable, so people see what they mean instead of just saying it.
Learn moreLEGO Serious Play
Use 3D model-building to surface insights that words cannot reach. Especially powerful for strategy, team identity, and complex problem-solving where the real issue is something nobody has said out loud yet.
Learn moreConsent Decision Making
Move beyond consensus (everyone agrees) and voting (someone loses). Consent-based decisions are faster, produce better outcomes, and stick — because the process addresses objections instead of ignoring them.
Learn moreFacilitation Stance
Learn when to step in and when to step back. The facilitator's role is not to have the answers — it is to hold the space so the group can find them. We teach you how to read the room and adjust in real time.
Effective Retrospectives
Go beyond "what went well / what did not." Design retrospectives that surface real issues, generate concrete experiments, and keep teams improving — instead of having the same conversation every two weeks.
Learn moreThree formats
Workshop (1-2 days)
Intensive, hands-on training in a specific method. You practice on real scenarios, not case studies. Walk out ready to use it the next day.
- One method in depth
- Hands-on practice with real scenarios
- Techniques ready to use immediately
- Reference materials included
Best for: Getting started with a new method quickly
Discuss a WorkshopPractitioner Program (3-6 months)
Learn, practice, debrief, repeat. Training sessions alternated with real-world application and coaching. This is how facilitation skills actually stick — not from a two-day course you forget in a week.
- Training sessions
- Practice with coaching
- Custom playbook for your context
- Mentoring between sessions
- Community of practice
Best for: Building deep, lasting capability
