BECO LICHTMAN
Why do capable groups get stuck and what helps them move forward?
FOUNDER AND STRATETIC FACILITATOR
For more than twenty years, I’ve worked with corporations, nonprofits, universities, and community organizations. Each with its own mission, culture, and way of working. Yet despite those differences, they often struggle with the same kinds of challenges.
Progress begins with understanding what’s really getting in the way.

I help organizations achieve clarity, alignment, and results through expert strategic facilitation and impactful presentations. Unlock your team’s potential and turn your vision into actionable success.
Organizations I've Worked With
WHY CLIENTS CALL
Organizations rarely reach out because they need a facilitator.
They reach out when important decisions stall, conversations go in circles, priorities compete, or progress slows.
My role is to help groups uncover what’s really getting in the way, so they can make clear decisions and move forward together.

How I Help
From fresh perspective to practical application.
Signature Talk
Why Capable Groups Get Stuck
Every organization has talented, committed people. Yet even the most capable groups can find themselves circling the same conversations without making real progress. This talk explores why—and what helps them move forward.
Signature Workshop
Why Capable Groups Get Stuck
Every team has conversations that seem impossible to move forward. This workshop helps participants uncover what’s getting in the way and identify practical paths forward together.
Is Your Team Facing This?
If any of this sounds familiar, let’s talk.
“We’re all working hard—but not together.”
Priorities compete. People move in different directions. Progress stalls.
“We need clarity. Everything feels a little off.”
Vision is there—but traction is missing.
“We keep meeting, but decisions don’t stick.”
You talk around the issues, but nothing moves forward.
“We’ve grown fast, and now we’re out of sync.”
Teams are siloed. Conversations feel disconnected.
“People seem checked out.”
When energy drops, it’s usually a sign something deeper is misaligned.
“There’s been a lot of change at the top.”
New leaders, new expectations—and uncertainty about what’s next. The team needs steadiness and shared direction.

About Beco
Organizations don’t hire me because they need another expert with answers.
They bring me in because an important decision has stalled, conversations keep circling without leading anywhere, priorities are pulling in different directions, or no one is quite sure who owns the next step.
My job is to help them understand what’s really getting in the way so they can move forward.
Today, I help organizations tackle those challenges through talks, workshops, and select client engagements.
Based in Paris, I partner with organizations across Europe and North America.
Let's explore what's getting in the way.
Whether you’re planning a talk, workshop, or client engagement, I’d love to hear what you’re working through.
