Different Ways to Help Your Organization Get Unstuck
From keynote talks to interactive workshops and facilitated sessions, each offering helps groups recognize the patterns getting in the way and move forward together.
Choose the Right Session
Signature Talk
Why Capable Groups Get Stuck
Every organization has talented, committed people. Yet even the most capable groups can find themselves revisiting the same conversations, struggling to make important decisions, or working hard without making the progress they expected.
This keynote explores why that happens. Participants will be introduced to a practical way of recognizing the recurring patterns that quietly slow progress and learn how a few well-timed questions can help teams move forward again.
Ideal for:
- Conferences
- Leadership retreats
- Association meetings
- Nonprofit events
- Executive gatherings
What participants take away:
- A new way to recognize why capable groups get stuck
- A practical framework for spotting recurring organizational patterns
- Better questions for navigating difficult decisions
- Ideas they can immediately apply with their own teams
Format: Available in person or virtually.
Duration: 45–90 minutes (including Q&A)
Fees: Customized proposal upon request.
Signature Workshop
Why Capable Groups Get Stuck
In this interactive workshop, participants apply the ideas to a real challenge they’re currently facing. Together, we’ll examine what’s happening beneath the surface, identify the patterns that may be getting in the way, and develop practical next steps for moving forward.
Rather than working through a hypothetical case study, the workshop is built around the participants’ own work, making the conversations immediately relevant and actionable.
Ideal for:
- Leadership teams
- Boards
- Department meetings
- Strategic planning retreats
- Cross-functional teams
- Nonprofit organizations
What participants take away:
- Greater clarity about a current challenge or decision
- A shared understanding of what's slowing progress
- A practical way to recognize similar patterns in the future
- Concrete next steps the team can act on immediately
Format: Available in person or virtually.
Duration: 90–120 minutes
Fees: Customized proposal upon request.
Strategic Facilitation
Why Capable Groups Get Stuck
Some challenges don’t fit into a single talk or workshop. They need sustained attention: a team working through a high-stakes decision, an organization untangling a pattern that’s been slowing them down for months, or a group that needs an outside perspective to move a stalled initiative forward.
Strategic facilitation is built around your specific situation. Rather than a single session, we work together over time to understand what’s really happening, surface the patterns getting in the way, and build a path forward your team can actually follow.
Ideal for:
- Leadership teams navigating a high-stakes decision
- Organizations stuck on a long-running initiative
- Groups preparing for a major transition or planning cycle
- Boards and executive teams needing an outside perspective
What participants take away:
- A clear-eyed understanding of what's really slowing your organization down
- A shared framework the team can use long after the engagement ends
- A concrete path forward, built around your actual challenge
- Ongoing support as the work unfolds, not just a single session
Format: Available in person or virtually. Structured as a half-day or full-day engagement, with the option to extend into multiple sessions.
Duration: Half-day or full-day
Fees: Customized proposal upon request.
Not sure which of these fits?
Every organization’s situation is a little different, and it’s not always obvious upfront whether a talk, a workshop, or something more sustained is the right starting point. If you’re not sure, I’m happy to talk it through with you.
