Convening Design: Accelerate Your Progress
The best leaders know that meetings aren’t just conversations—they’re a strategic tool.
Meetings are far too important (and too expensive) to be treated as routine events.  I like to flip the script on traditional speaker or panel formats to ensure that 70−80% of your event is dedicated to listening and meaningful dialogue.

My Methodology

I've been training for this since I was 5.

Seriously. My dad ran our family meetings at the kitchen table just like he was in a corporate office, and I was taking notes before I could even spell "agenda." Since then, I’ve spent the last two decades refining my approach, blending:

• Executive Coaching Techniques – As an iPEC certified coach, I bring question techniques from the coaching field into the design process for driving clarity and forward progress toward a specific goal.

• Operational Leadership  – As a former VP and Operator myself leading teams through change,  growth and pivots - I get the complexity and the nuance you’re navigating.  I know what it takes to get things done.

• Hands-on Experimentation – I’ve tested (and refined) a wide variety of formats across multiple industries—from formal roundtables to informal dinners—to advise on the most effective tactics for your specific event.
