Executive Team Facilitation
A facilitated session helps your senior team settle priorities, work through hard decisions, and leave with owners and next steps.
What is executive team facilitation?
Executive team facilitation is a single facilitated session, such as a strategy day, off-site or planning retreat, that helps a senior team settle priorities, work through hard decisions and leave with owners and next steps. It is different from team coaching, which builds how a team works together over months. Hospitality Leadership Coach (HLC) facilitates for leadership teams in hotels, restaurants, healthcare, senior living and other service organizations. Sessions are usually co-facilitated by Clifton Carmody, PCC, ACTC and Edward Vicedo, MCC, ACTC, both credentialed by the International Coaching Federation (ICF). Before the session HLC talks with key participants, then designs the agenda around the outcome you need. Afterward you receive a written summary of decisions, owners and next steps. Sessions run virtually or in person and are quoted for each team.
