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.

Ed is walking encyclopedia of resources for all aspects of business and personal development. He both encourages and challenges each client to move closer to their potential by providing education, honest feedback and holding his clients accountable.

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.

Response from the ownerThank you Warren. It is a privilege to work with you!

I have known Ed for over a decade in his role as a Vistage Chair and additionally as the Program Chair for Associated Pest Services. Ed and Capacity Building Solutions 5 stars for both, if I could give a 6 I would!!Let’s start with Vistage. I have watched Ed in action over the years with both his CE and Key groups and the success his members have under his stewardship. I have also been present in his groups as a speaker. I view Ed as one of the top Vistage Chairs in the country as he truly facilitates, coaches and teaches his groups. Ed creates an atmosphere where his members hold each other accountable and when necessary Ed holds them accountable (which is fun to watch in action!!). He also is fierce on a true financial scorecard for each member that adds to the Accountability.Now let’s turn to Associated. This is a group comprised mostly of CEOs of the top pest control companies in the country. Ed has taken the programming and facilitation of our twice a year meetings to another level over the last 10+ years. Working with our Board of Directors he continues to keep the meetings fresh and lively. Ed also spearheads our annual Benchmarking Survey (the best in the industry) and the full day review of it where we look at best practices and uncover gems. Ed has this down to a science with a lot of art applied.Bottom line…If you are looking to take your business and yourself to the next level then their is no better person than Ed Robinson and Capacity Building Solutions!!!

Response from the ownerThank you for the kind words Phil. I am only ever as good as the people I work with and you set a very high bar in this regard. It's been great to have you as client, colleague and most importantly friend!
