Transforming Meetings

The best possible results from your meeting

The quality of decisions and actions we take as a group depends on the quality of the group’s thinking – together first. Our best thinking is not possible when we interrupt and tailgate each other. We simply don’t listen well to each other. As a result new ideas remain untapped, fresh thinking slows down and people get overlooked.

  • How do we give less experienced team members as much thinking time and opportunity to share as experienced team members during meetings, while maintaining respect?
  • How do we generate fresh, good ideas in a working environment where time and effectiveness matter?

Increase the performance of your team or group

Better ideas, solutions, decisions and actions

If you want to increase the output of all of your team members and want shorter, effective meetings in which you accomplish more in less time, then this is for you and your team members. The solution is to create a way of being in meetings and a process that will encourages these results. It is the Thinking Environment®– a practical and dependable system for personal growth and understanding developed by Nancy Kline and Time to Think.

  • we get distracted sometimes with our thoughts or what else is going on around us.

Gamechanger

“A very simple concept that has high impact for individuals and teams, but it’s so rare in the corporate world. This could be a gamechanger for many teams”.

The training has been very positive and challenging

“It tests thinking and listening a lot. It is very different to how we operate in a fast paced ‘corporate’ world where everything needs to be immediate and hence poorly thought through and very repetitive. The course really challenges the individual to slow down and truly listen, consider, reflect and think. It is a positive supercharge for the brain and the body”.

Safe space

“This course included several good exercises for listening in a structured and planned sequence. Marjoleine created a safe space for everyone to share in a specially friendly and warm ambience”.

Ideas can flourish and minds can expand

“This is your opportunity to pause, reflect, and engage in meaningful discussions that will inspire and empower you. Marjoleine guided us through thought-provoking topics, creating a space where ideas can flourish, and minds can expand”.
