Meeting / Retreat Facilitation

Having worked in consultative role with clients for almost 20 years, Ed understands the importance of 3rd party facilitation of  business meetings and retreats. It’s difficult to participate  in the discussion when you are caught up with leading it. Our job is to make it easy for you to focus on content while we manage process.
We have extensive experience facilitating meetings, retreats, and panel discussions on a wide variety of business and nonprofit topics. Ed has managed meetings with groups ranging in size from just a few participants to several hundred. Programs have ranged from  a couple of hours to several full days.

Ed has been through some of the top facilitation training programs in the world and is continuously honing this skill. We pride ourselves on the fact that we have have many different tools and techniques to  bring to any client engagement. The goal is always to customize the engagement  to fit the particulars of a given situation. We don’t believe in a one size fits all approach.

Ed is also highly experienced working in a peer based learning environment with leaders across a broad spectrum of industries and businesses. He currently chairs 5 leadership peer groups for Vistage International.  In addition, Ed designs and facilities a semi-annual business meeting for a large industry association – Associated Pest Services.

At Capacity Building Solutions, our perspective is and always will be that diversity of ideas and opinions is a strength. Harnessing the various talents and abilities in the room is both a science and an art. We strive to excel in this area.

Ed Robinson has been an invaluable resource for me in my growth with my company and my life. The time spent with him has helped me deal with an ever changing landscape in the current business environment. Ed has been direct and supportive of my progress and critical when necessary. He has provided clarity with his insight and experience. He has the ability to cut through to the root of an issue and provide advice and guidance in discovering the best path forward. I have found him to be genuine and willing to share his own experiences, to be part of the solution. I believe in order to achieve this level of consciousness Ed's motivation is to make those he associates with better in all phases of life.

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.
