Four sessions. One thread running through all of them.
Each session builds on the last. Session one gives you the agenda structure that sessions two and three depend on. Session four ties it together with a logging system and the audit challenge you run afterwards on your own schedule.
Agenda Design That Respects Everyone's Time
90 minutesWe start by separating agenda items into three types: information, discussion, and decision. Each type gets a different time allowance and a different facilitation approach. You'll leave with a reusable agenda template and a worksheet for auditing your current recurring meetings against it.
Facilitation for Quiet and Dominant Voices
90 minutesThis session covers structured turn-taking, written idea capture before verbal discussion, and specific phrasing for redirecting a conversation that one person has taken over, without making it personal. Breakout practice lets you rehearse these phrases with peers before trying them on your own team.
Replacing Status Updates with Async Briefs
90 minutesWe work through a one-page written brief format designed to be read in under two minutes, and discuss where a fully async approach makes sense versus where a short live check-in still adds value. You'll draft a brief for your own team's next update cycle during the session.
Decision Logging & the Thirty-Day Audit
90 minutesThe final session introduces a four-field decision log (decision, owner, deadline, reference link) and shows how to fold it into existing meeting notes without adding extra admin. We close by setting up your thirty-day audit challenge, a self-tracked comparison of your meetings before and after the series.
What to expect around the sessions
Delivered online
All four sessions run through video conferencing software, with breakout rooms used for the facilitation practice segments in sessions two and three. A stable internet connection and a webcam are the only technical requirements.
Small cohort sizes
Cohorts are kept limited so that breakout practice actually functions and everyone gets a turn to try the facilitation techniques live, rather than just observing a demonstration.
Spaced across weeks
Sessions are typically spaced a week or two apart, giving you time to apply each framework to a real meeting before the next session builds on it.
Templates included
Every session includes an editable template (agenda, brief, decision log, or audit worksheet) provided in common document formats so you can adapt it to your team's existing tools.
Inside the thirty-day audit challenge
The audit runs after the formal sessions end. Each day, you log three things for any meeting you attended: whether it started and finished on time, whether your attendance was necessary given the agenda, and whether a decision was logged if one was made.
At the end of thirty days, the worksheet compares week one against week four side by side. Some leaders find the pattern shifts quickly. Others find certain meeting types (recurring cross-team syncs, for example) take longer to change than others. Either outcome gives you something concrete to discuss with your own team, rather than a general impression.
