Business Moderation & Facilitation

Are you planning a workshop? But please make it effective!

Whether offsite or at your company premises, lasting several hours or several days, in person or remotely:

I design and moderate your workshops and conferences. How? With method and heart. So that you and your team can develop new perspectives and achieve really good results.

What should the outcome of your workshop be?

What does facilitation stand for?

Moderation means leading meetings in a structured manner. Facilitation goes one step further: it empowers teams to work independently so that they can gain clarity together, develop really good ideas and make sound decisions for the future.

When we enable genuine participation, utilise the knowledge available within the company and design solutions together, we not only ensure greater orientation, responsibility and effectiveness within the team. It also boosts your value creation and future viability. If you ask me, that’s Good Work.

There are many reasons why meetings fail to achieve their goals

The future? Yesterday's news.

Meetings on strategy or future direction lack fresh impetus. The team focuses on the familiar, existing patterns are repeated, and new perspectives are rarely developed.

How can we finally generate energy for the future?

Everyone talks a lot. And achieves little.

Discussions go round in circles, going from one thing to another without really getting anywhere. Priorities remain unclear. In the end, the team leaves the room without a clear mandate.

This is paralysing. And it comes at the expense of speed and implementation power.

Hidden emotions.

Unspoken tensions and conflicts slow down cooperation. The famous ‘pink elephant’ is in the room. Everyone sees it, but no one dares to address it openly in the meeting.

This costs trust and robs the team of the chance to find really good solutions.

It’s time for that to change

Why workshop facilitation makes a difference

Structure and results

I facilitate your workshop in such a way that ideas are turned into tangible results: structured, goal-oriented and implementable. And you? You can keep your mind free for the content.

Participation for more perspectives

I ensure participation, diversity of perspectives and a safe and appreciative environment. This is important so that even difficult or emotional topics can be discussed constructively.

Methods for fresh thinking

And I use activating methods. This creates space for fresh thinking, new perspectives and real solutions. After all, we want your workshops to be not only meaningful and results-oriented, but also lively!

What you get from a well-moderated workshop session

Clarity and concrete results

Everyone knows what has been decided together and what needs to be done next. The workshop contributes directly to implementation.

New perspectives, real solutions

You leave the room with ideas that have been developed together and that everyone supports. This creates commitment and strengthens cooperation in everyday life.

Energy, motivation, team spirit

Your team feels empowered and connected. This provides momentum and the good feeling of working together in the right direction again.

Dear Ms Rau, thank you very much for your expert moderation of our Dental Trend Workshop. The workshop, which brought together managing directors and marketing managers from the dental industry and dental trade, aimed to identify relevant challenges and trends in the dental market. With your support, we fully achieved this goal. In addition to the varied use of methods, we and the participants greatly appreciated your professional moderation of the discussion. You responded confidently and flexibly to comments and explored topics in greater depth with skilful questions. This provided us with valuable insights for our product development and we are happy to recommend you to others.

Dear Michaela, we would like to express our enthusiasm for the moderation workshop. With your extensive experience, you perfectly understood how to introduce us to the world of moderation.
The workshop was very structured and well organised. You had a clear vision and taught us the basics of moderation in an entertaining and interactive way. Empathetic, individual and professional, you left plenty of room for our specific challenges, questions and experiences. Your open and friendly manner helped us to feel very comfortable. Thank you very much for the enriching workshop!
