Why do I need to call a Professional Facilitator?
When members view meetings as being unproductive and getting in the way of their work instead of helpful and productive, a facilitator may be helpful. There can be times when a few individuals "take over meetings" for better or for worse. Not everyone is being heard from and valuable input may be getting lost. A sensitive subject may lead to strong feelings being expressed unprofessionally with employees attacking each other rather than the problem. People fall into habits meeting regularly over time. The joker does her thing, the whiner does his thing, Mr. Grumpy is the same ole grumpy. Those ceiling tile counters continue to quietly sit there with a blank stare adding nothing. The dominator tries to control things. The bottom line is things are not getting accomplished.

If any or all of the above are slowing down your organization, it is likely also costing money in lost time and productivity. How long can you afford "business as usual?"
