Facilitators Studio

The Facilitator Studio believes “all the world’s problems will be solved through effectively facilitated conversations.” We are committed to hosting multi-day virtual and in-person live training sessions that help our clients solve their most important problem: solving the right problem by getting to and staying on point during group meetings. Master facilitator Barry Shapiro initially developed instruction, demonstrations, and breakout sessions; each principle shared is described in his book, “Casting Call.” While we believe the book provides value in its own right, it comes to life when brought to real-life during our events. Recently, Barry partnered with Kris Ryan, founding partner of Quest Performance Solutions and Facilitators Studio Master Facilitator. Together the pair have revised the curriculum to accommodate a continuous virtual business world and launched Facilitators Studio 2.0. The new program seeks to offer a revolutionary new way to achieve their organizations' results by combining science and art. Our team of experts is guided by a combined 80 years of experience facilitating, consulting, and coaching within a broad range of industries and organizational structures. We merge our business expertise with the art and science of the theatre to create dynamic, one-of-a-kind facilitation certification experiences that deliver exceptional business results. Participants who complete our interactive experience earn a certification in the practice of Facilitation Aikido™. In addition, we continued to be thrilled when we hear back from graduates about their drastically improved audience engagement and business outcomes across all levels of their companies upon their return to the office.
