Meeting Partnership
Expert facilitation for high-stakes discussions where values are on the line.
Overview
Some meetings are just calendar blockers; others define the future of a company. When you are gathering to make a critical decision—about a data policy, a contentious launch, or a response to a crisis—the dynamic in the room matters as much as the data. I act as a neutral third party, a "designated ethicist" who facilitates the conversation. My role is to ensure that the quiet voices are heard, that assumptions are challenged, and that you reach a decision you can stand by in public.
What You Get
- Psychological Safety: I create a container where team members feel safe to voice ethical concerns without fear of being seen as "blockers."
- Structured Dialectic: We move beyond circular arguments to a structured exploration of values and trade-offs.
- Decision Record: A document capturing not just what was decided, but why, preserving the ethical reasoning for future reference.
Format & Duration
Duration: Half-day or Full-day Sessions
Format: In-person preferred for sensitive topics
Best For
This service is ideal for:
- Executive offsites facing "dilemma" agenda items.
- Ethics Committees or Review Boards who need an external chair.
- Teams deadlocked on a feature due to conflicting value systems.
Process
- Pre-work — I interview participants individually to understand their perspectives and the hidden currents in the room.
- Facilitation — I guide the meeting, intervening to clarify arguments and keep the focus on the ethical core of the issue.
- Closure — We ensure that the decision is clear, ownership is assigned, and the ethical rationale is explicit.
