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.
