We herd cats (& dogs)

Facilitating difficult meetings is similar to herding cats. Attendees have diverse opinions and want their opinion to be taken on board. That’s where TpEBO comes in. TpEBO’s role as facilitator is to ask the right questions and generate engaging conversations amongst attendees so that tangible outcomes come from the meeting.

Believe it or not, 90% of the work takes place before the meeting. We work closely with the client to gain an understanding of what is really needed. What is the best use of attendees’ time? What are the issues facing the people in the room? Who will be in the room and why? What do we want to achieve in a short space of time?

Meetings are intense ranging from 1 hour to 3 days for large and small groups, face to face and in virtual environments. Sessions are practical and structured to provoke thought and designed so attendees face the hard questions early on.

Once a common issue has been identified,TpEBO works on aligning thinking and what actions attendees need to take once the meeting is over.

We are down to earth and operate in a low-key way; this allows you, the client to take credit for a wonderful session! Be warned…we will challenge you to ensure that your meeting is as productive and effective as possible.
