I founded MGR Consulting in 1985, a learning and collaborative leadership development consulting firm, and used my subject matter expertise about group facilitation and designed, developed, and taught the first structured facilitation-training program - FAST. In 2007, I then revolutionized my facilitation-training program with FoCuSeD™ - the 1st Holistic Structured Facilitation™ Technique - by being the first to see and describe how People and Process skills can be seamlessly integrated to drive consensus-based decisions.
I develop, conduct, and deliver learning programs with FoCuSeD™guide books that train employees and improve their job performance to work with a group to produce better outcomes - online, in-person, virtual, and on-site.
