We are rethinking employee resource groups (ERGs) in a way to provide experience sharing that educates, aligns, supports your teams and gives a strong ROI on time and resources invested. With facilitated peer groups we create safe and powerful spaces for teams to share experiences.
Clear up bottlenecks by encouraging peer knowledge sharing.

Presentations, Clarification & Experiences. We guide your team members through a process that provides actionable solutions to your organization's toughest challenges:
06/06 Regular Meeting Flow
Participants prepare their own experiential case study for peer review. Training is provided on how to deliver a powerful presentation that provides a clear picture of the challenge to the group.
1. Case Study presentation
Participants ask clarifying questions to help better understand the challenge and to further investigate the case being presented.
2. Clarifying Question Period
Once participants have all the info they need on the case they begin to share their own relevant experiences, best practices and what 'what-if' scenarios for the presenter to consider.
Attendees will present a current thought or challenge and their peers will ask questions, share experiences and offer support. Attendees will be asked to commit to an action and report on the outcome in the next session.
