About us.

We are passionate about bringing meetings into the future
Our Business
Facilitation Solutions was founded with a simple goal in mind:  making people happier by making meetings better.  (Just think how much time you spend in meetings and imagine those meetings were a source of happiness for you!)

Training in running effective meetings is overlooked in leadership development courses, and the approach for improving meetings seems to be either a simple checklist reminder (which changes nothing) or an intensive investment to become a professional facilitator (overkill). 

​We bring real-world focus and experience to our courses.  We offer practical, impactful courses with flexible options for your busy staff.

As companies face exponentially increasing market competitiveness, the ability of a company to communicate clearly internally, gain buy-in, collaborate and execute against rapidly shifting company goals is imperative.   These skills are at the core of our courses.
Our Mission
Our mission is to spread great meeting skills, helping corporations and organizations enjoy productive and positive team dynamics. ​
