Meeting / Retreat Facilitation

With over a quarter-century of experience in a consultative role, Ed brings a deep understanding of the value third-party facilitation adds to business meetings and retreats. Recognizing the challenge of engaging in discussions while leading them, he is dedicated to ensuring clients can concentrate on the substance of their conversations, freeing them from the process complexities of running the meeting.

Ed’s extensive background in steering a diverse range of meetings, from intimate gatherings to large-scale conferences, and his adeptness in covering various business topics showcase his versatility. His commitment to personal growth is evident in his continuous skill enhancement, having participated in premier facilitation training programs. Ed’s approach is highly personalized; he leverages an array of tools and techniques tailored to each client’s unique needs, steering clear of one-size-fits-all solutions.

Beyond facilitating, Ed thrives in peer-based learning settings, currently leading six leadership groups for Vistage International, and after 14 years, recently retired from orchestrating semi-annual best practice meetings for Associated Pest Services. This experience underscores his capability to foster environments where diverse thoughts and ideas flourish, embodying Capacity Building Solutions’ belief in the power of cognitive diversity and collaboration as foundations for success.

Looking for a coach is no easy task. In 2010 I decided to take the journey of finding a business coach to help grow me personally and professionally. I found Ed through other trusted business leaders, and my life has changed ever since. Not only is he well read but has great practical experience and asks the right questions at the right time. He always provides me with impactful information that keeps my skills on par with the demands of any business leader. Ed has helped my company and I through the ups and downs and will be there in the future to help us grow. If you are ready for a coach and ready to share and get vulnerable. Ed is the coach for you. He will make you a better person.
Response from the owner: One of the many blessings of my professional life Nick is working with you and our long-term relationship. You are a special leader running a great company!
